SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The information on place of manufacture was formerly used by each 
Federal agency to prepare a report to Congress required by 41 U.S.C. 
8302(b)(1) for Fiscal Year 2009 through 2011 on acquisitions of 
articles, materials, or supplies that are manufactured outside the 
United States. However, the data is still necessary for analysis of the 
application of the Buy American statue and the trade agreements and for 
other reports to Congress. Additionally, contracting officers require 
this data as the basis for entry into the Federal Procurement Data 
System for further data on the rationale for purchasing foreign 
manufactured items.
