DFARS Domestic Sourcing — U.S. Flags, Small Purchase Exception & Commissary Seafood

Current understanding

DoD is proposing amendments to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS Case 2024-D013) to require full domestic production of U.S. flags acquired by DoD, adjust the small purchase exception threshold for American-source articles, and expand domestic sourcing requirements for seafood sold in commissaries. The rule implements Buy American-style provisions enacted in the FY2024–2026 National Defense Authorization Acts. Status: proposed rule; effects concentrated on DoD contractors and their suppliers (flag manufacturers, seafood vendors) rather than general consumers.
