Understanding the why of Buy American is helpful. This law is steering Government procurements to buy supplies that are “domestic end products” (determined by the two-part test for DoD), and therefore keeping supplies available through manufacturers in the U.S., which provides jobs and fosters healthy supply chains in the U.S.

Join DAU Contracting Professor, Cindy Baker, and Ms. Jessica Phillips, U.S. Army, as they lead a facilitated discussion on Buy American using a real-world Army procurement to answer the questions; does Buy American apply to my supply buy and if it does, then what? Facilitated discussions will be held to discover the nuances of the applicability of Buy American for DoD.
