Excerpt from: Complying with the Made In USA Standard, Federal Trade Commission, December 1998 (PDF linked from FTC current website page), i.e. same as Dave F.\'s source.
Buy American Act — Requires that a product be manufactured
in the U.S. of more than 50 percent U.S. parts to be considered
Made in USA for government procurement purposes. For more
information, review the Buy American Act at 41 U.S.C. §§ 10a-
10c, the Federal Acquisition Regulations at 48 C.F.R. Part 25,
and the Trade Agreements Act at 19 U.S.C. §§ 2501-2582.
This excerpt, like the other one posted from the FTC website is NOT the LAW. These excerpts are only layman\'s representation of the law.
The LAW is: 41 U.S.C. §§ 10a-10c, 48 C.F.R. Part 25, 19 U.S.C. §§ 2501-2582
From here ... I\'ll leave it to the real lawyers.
@ Dave ... BTW, imo good call based on how the FTC website reads. I just know from experience that the LAW and it\'s legal interpretations can provide for some variance that might otherwise not be readily apparent from the simplified versions that exist in forms outside the statutes themselves ... and the combinations of the statutes can also make for some built-in loopholes as well.
