2-36.4 Designated Country Eligibility Thresholds

The value of the purchase and the type of commodity being purchased are determining factors as to whether the designated country end products may be considered domestic-source end products. The thresholds are summarized in the table below. Estimated contract value includes the value of any contemplated options.

When proposals contain eligible end products produced in designated countries, and the value of the purchase exceeds the amount shown below in Figure 2.14, Eligibility Thresholds, the end products qualify as domestic-sourced.
