Protest of alleged violation of statutory requirement (at section 8016 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1998) for domestic manufacture of anchor chain is denied where record shows that award complies with statutory requirements for domestic manufacture of the chain (the studs and links will be welded, and the stud link chain will be produced, in the United States), and for the components of that chain to be substantially manufactured in the United States (only one component (the studs) will be manufactured outside of the United States, the aggregate cost of which is substantially less than the aggregate cost of the components manufactured in the United States). https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-278648/html/GAOREPORTS-B-278648.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-278648/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-278648.pdf GAO/B-278648 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-278648 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-278648; Baldt Inc., B-278648, February 23, 1998; Title 41 Section 10a-10d 41 U.S.C. 10a-10d Volume 111 Page 1203 111 Stat. 1203 Public Law 105-56
