FOREIGN-SOURCE PROCUREMENT FUNDED THROUGH FEDERAL PROGRAMS BY STATES AND ORGANIZATIONS

The report addresses foreign-source procurement funded through Federal programs by states and selected organizations. Legislation enacted this year at both the state and Federal levels considerably expands buy-national preferences for U.S. firms competing for such federally financed procurement. Federal and state buy-national preferences are identified and legal issues relating to state and local buy-national preferences are defined. Information on foreign-source procurement by states and organizations is provided for federally assisted highway, urban mass transportation, railroad, airport, municipal wastewater treatment, local public works, and rural electrification programs.
