FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.225-18 Place of Manufacture.

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 provision asks an offeror to state, for statistical purposes only, whether the end products it expects to supply will be predominantly manufactured in the United States or outside it. It also defines 'manufactured end product' and 'place of manufacture' so the offeror knows what counts. It matters because the answer is a required part of the offer, though the text says it is for statistical purposes only.

Applies to: Offerors responding to a solicitation that includes this provision

What it requires

  • Indicate whether the place of manufacture of the end products it expects to provide is predominantly in the United States or outside the United States

As prescribed in 25.1101(f), insert the following provision:

Place of Manufacture (AUG 2018)

Manufactured end product means any end product in product and service codes (PSCs) 1000-9999, except—

Place of manufacture means the place where an end product is assembled out of components, or otherwise made or processed from raw materials into the finished product that is to be provided to the Government. If a product is disassembled and reassembled, the place of reassembly is not the place of manufacture.

(b) For statistical purposes only, the offeror shall indicate whether the place of manufacture of the end products it expects to provide in response to this solicitation is predominantly—

(1) In the United States (Check this box if the total anticipated price of offered end products manufactured in the United States exceeds the total anticipated price of offered end products manufactured outside the United States); or
