Sec. 725.170  Exceptions for Foreign Assistance Act functions.





    In addition to the exception stated in FAR 25.102 for purchases for 

use outside the United States, there is an exception for economic 

assistance functions performed under authority of the Foreign Assistance 

Act. This exception is stated in Executive Order 11223, dated May 12, 

1965 (30 FR 6635). U.S. procurement restrictions are applied by USAID, 

however, as shown elsewhere in this part. These restrictions are 

generally tighter than the Buy American Act. As a general rule, the 

tighter USAID restrictions will be used. In the case of certain 

procurements for use within the United States, the Buy American 

provision may be used instead in the interest of uniformity among 

Federal Agencies procuring for domestic use.
