cthewades Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 We are getting ready to propose a product which uses a fuel cell made out of synthetic fabric. This fabric comes from Italy, a Qualifying Country under 252.7002-2. In the clause 252.225-7012, it defines "qualifying countries" but it does not state what exemptions are provided to them. I have been told that QC qualify for an exemption but I do not see in the FAR or DFAR where an exemption is specifically granted. I can only infer based on language. Does anyone know how this is interpreted in the Government - particularly case law or board of appeal findings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy_Contracting_4 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 In paragraph ( c )(6)(ii) of the clause, it exempts "fibers and yarns that are for use in synthetic fabric or coated synthetic fabric (but does apply to the synthetic or coated synthetic fabric itself), if—...[t]he fibers and yarns are para-aramid fibers and continuous filament para-aramid yarns manufactured in a qualifying country."
