    Special Notice: HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF has issued a notice regarding the DHS FY 2023 Annual Posting of Buy American Act Domestic Nonavailability Waiver Actions. This notice aims to promote and enhance awareness of the Buy American Act (BAA) and its impact on the U.S. economy. During Fiscal Year 2023, DHS executed 1,050 contract actions valued at $67,480,499.71 using the domestic nonavailability exception under the BAA. This represents approximately 1.83 percent of the annual DHS procurement obligations for the fiscal year subject to compliance with the BAA. The majority of these actions were awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) for various items such as miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components, airframe structural components, helicopter rotor blades, drive mechanisms, and components, tubing, and hardware. These items are considered "spare and replacement parts for equipment of foreign manufacture, and for which domestic parts are not available." The USCG needs these parts to maintain and service aircraft and other assets, and they often have to acquire them from foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Overall, this notice highlights the use of domestic nonavailability waivers under the BAA in DHS procurement actions, particularly by the USCG for acquiring necessary parts for aircraft and other assets.
