- Description
- This is a Request for Information (RFI) to locate sources of hand or measuring tools that are �produced in the United States�, in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 225.7002-1. This RFI is issued for acquisition planning purposes only and does not represent a Request for Proposal or obligation on the part of the U.S. Government (USG). The information within this notice is based on the best and most current information available to date. This information is subject to change and does not bind the Government in any way. Updated information will be provided in a subsequent notice or synopsis, if and when necessary. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to determine if the tools listed in the Sources Sought Tool List (see Attachment 0001) are produced in the United States. As provided in DFARS 225.7002-1, do not acquire hand or measuring tools, unless the tools are produced in the United States. DFARS Procedures, Guidance and Information 225.7002-1(b) provides: (1) As applied to hand or measuring tools, �produced in the United States� means that the hand or measuring tool was assembled in the United States out of components, or otherwise made from raw materials into the finished product that is to be provided to the Government. (2) If a hand or measuring tool was assembled in a country other than the United States, then disassembled and reassembled in the United States, the hand or measuring tool was not produced in the United States. (3) The requirement to buy hand or measuring tools produced in the United States does not impose any restriction on the source of the components of the hand or measuring tools. This is unlike the Berry Amendment restriction on clothing (see 225.7002-1(a)(2)), which explicitly requires domestic source for the materials and components of clothing (other than unusual components such as sensors or electronics), as well as the additional separate restrictions on various types of fibers and fabrics that might be components of the clothing. Information is needed for the tools listed in the attachment. Please respond by completing columns �E� through �K� of the tool list. NOTE: NO SOLICITATION IS ISSUED AT THIS TIME. Participation in this effort is strictly voluntary with no cost or obligation to be incurred by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government will in no way be obligated to purchase all or any part of the items described in the attached document. The U.S. Government is providing this information as a request for information (RFI) only. Industry responses to this RFI will not represent binding offers, and the U.S. Government cannot accept an industry response to form a binding contract. The deadline for responses is 30 May 2023. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ANGELINA SMITH AT�ANGELINA.V.SMITH2.CIV@ARMY.MIL�. THE PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE IS FOR MARKET RESEARCH. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT RANK OR PROVIDE ANY REPLY TO SUBMITTALS FROM.
