The Defense Appropriations and Authorization Acts and other statutes (including what is commonly referred to as “The Berry Amendment”) impose restrictions on the DoD’s acquisition of foreign products and services. Generally, clothing and textile items (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7012) and “specialty metals” (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7014), including the materials and components thereof (other than sensors, electronics, or other items added to, and not normally associated with clothing), must be grown, reprocessed, reused, melted or produced in the United States, its possession, or Puerto Rico, unless one of the DFARS 225.7002-2 exceptions applies. These items contain clothing and textile items and therefore DFARS clause 252.225-7012 applies. DLA Troop Support is looking for USA manufactured items under this acquisition.
