RFO industry webinars

GSA has held two RFO industry webinars:

FAR Part 52 provision and clause matrix

To help track changes to provisions and clauses from the model deviation text, GSA has created a dynamic, easy-to-use matrix tool for the acquisition community.

What you can do with this matrix

  • Quickly sort RFO part 52 by part number, type, effective date, or disposition (e.g., updated, added, removed, no change)
  • View a side-by-side of the pre-RFO provision and clause titles against new provision and clause titles (as applicable)
  • Filter and group just the information you want to view at a glance
  • Click on the rows to expand information and read “notes” easier for provisions and clauses (where applicable)
  • Easily manipulate the size of each row

General notes

  • The link and embedded table are viewable to all. No sign-in is required.
  • The link and embedded table reflect the deviation effective dates for GSA. Other agencies may have different effective dates.
  • GSA is providing a downloadable Excel sheet as well that:
    • Agencies can download and fill-in the deviation effective date in accordance with their implementing deviations
    • Industry can download for their own tracking (downloading the Airtable via CSV is turned off)
  • If and when agencies complete their own matrix via the Excel file, they may share it with GSA and GSA will post a master list. Questions specific to agency deviations must be directed to those agencies. Agencies can submit their matrix files to sagtesting@gsa.gov.

Buy America Waivers

The Build America, Buy America Act, enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on November 15, 2021, requires that any infrastructure project receiving federal funding must source iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials from the United States. Per section 70914(c) of the Act, GSA may issue a waiver if it finds that:

  • Applying the Buy America preference would be inconsistent with the public interest (a “public interest waiver”).
  • Types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality (a “nonavailability waiver”).
  • The inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent (an “unreasonable cost waiver”).

Any waiver GSA intends to issue will be posted to this website for public review and comment for 15 days.
