and contracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. For the
acquisition of commercial items, the contracting officer shall use the
clause with its Alternate I.

52.225-11 Buy American Act--Construction Materials under Trade
Agreements.
* * * * *
Alternate I (MAR 2009). * * *
* * * * *
(b) Construction materials. (1) This clause implements the Buy
American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a - 10d) by providing a preference for
domestic construction material. In addition, the Contracting Officer
has determined that the WTO GPA and all the Free Trade Agreements
except NAFTA and the Bahrain FTA apply to this acquisition. In
accordance with 41 U.S.C. 431, the component test of the Buy
American Act is waived for construction material that is a COTS item
(See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). Therefore, the Buy American Act restrictions
are waived for designated country construction materials other than
Bahrainian or Mexican construction materials.
