Kevin R Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 If China signs the WTO 'Governmental Procurement Agreement' would that end the prohibition against Chinese made products for government use? I'm thinking specifically about the VA and general use mediacl and mobility equipment. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mansfield Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 What prohibition? If you're referring to the China Fair Trade Act of 2010, the bill never became a law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 What prohibition? If you're referring to the China Fair Trade Act of 2010, the bill never became a law. As a large business we have to adhere to 'TAA' for contract awards from the VA. China is not on the 'TAA' list, my question is/was once they sign the 'GPA' will that enable US companies to submit Chinese products for government contract consideration? Thanks very much.

Don Mansfield Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 The FAR would have to be revised to add China to the list of WTO GPA countries in the clause at FAR 52.225-5 (assuming that this is the clause in your contract awards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I assumed as much, but wasn't sure if there were any other impediments. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
