Description
In recognition of the importance of the Buy American Act (BAA) to the U.S. economy, and to promote and enhance awareness and public visibility, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will publish annually a list of procurement actions using the BAA domestic nonavailability waivers executed during the previous year. During Fiscal Year 2019, DHS executed 669 contract actions valued at $65 million using the domestic nonavailability waivers under the BAA. This figure represents approximately 1.57 percent (by dollar value) of the Department�s procurement obligations for the fiscal year subject to compliance with the BAA. The vast majority of these actions were awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) for i) miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components; ii) airframe structural components; iii) torque converters and speed changers; and iv) helicopter rotor blades, drive mechanisms, and components. To maintain and service aircrafts and various other assets, USCG must acquire parts from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), many of which are foreign, to preserve product warranty. While the USCG often asks OEMs to release their proprietary data rights, many have chosen not to do so. As such, USCG has limited choices when sourcing components and spare parts.
