Abstract:
The announcement and award of contracts for the postwar reconstruction of Iraq have engendered several questions concerning the application of Federal procurement laws and regulations. This report addresses several of these questions.
Does the Buy American Act apply to contracts for the reconstruction of Iraq?
What is a "Little Buy American Act" and could one be used to require use of American products in the reconstruction of Iraq?
May contracts for the reconstruction of Iraq be limited to American owned companies?
Are contracts for the reconstruction of Iraq subject to full and open competition?
If a contract is "sole-sourced," what information must be made available?
