Agency properly determined that the awardee would provide buoy chain of domestic manufacture and the award would therefore comply with 14 U.S.C.A. sec. 97 (West Supp. 1997), which prohibits the procurement of buoy chain not manufactured in the United States, where the awardee's proposal stated that the chain would be manufactured in the United States; the proposal's reference to Canadian subcontractors that would be available to perform certain tests has no bearing on the determination as to whether the buoy chain will be manufactured in the United States because the tests are not part of the manufacturing process. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-278422/html/GAOREPORTS-B-278422.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-278422/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-278422.pdf GAO/B-278422 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-278422 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-278422; Baldt Inc., B-278422, January 28, 1998; Title 10 Section 2507 10 U.S.C. 2507 Title 19 Section 2501-2581 19 U.S.C. 2501-2581 Title 41 Section 10a-10d 41 U.S.C. 10a-10d Volume 110 Page 3901 110 Stat. 3901 Public Law 104-324
