The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section restricts the acquisition of welded shipboard anchor and mooring chain. It requires that the chain be manufactured in the United States, including cutting, heat treating, quality control, testing, and welding, and that U.S.-made components make up more than 50 percent of the total component cost. It also notes that this Appropriations Act restriction takes precedence over the separate restriction in 10 U.S.C. 4864 for chain used as a component of a naval vessel.
