Good Morning:
As it turns out, my prelim info was incorrect. Customer is seeking H&K P2000 pistols in lieu of the SMGs. H&K reports that while some pistols are made in USA, the P2000 models are made in Germany.
Thanks for your consideration.
In consideration of BUY AMERICAN ACT restrictions, how do non-DOD agencies acquire foreign made firearms for domestic special purpose needs? I am thinking about German H&K firearms in particular which are required for special ops and other similar needs? Trade Agreements (see FAR 25.4) appear to provide relief for some items but not for weapons (see FAR 25.401).
I have read in other posts that DOD apparently has made a determination citing Public Interest. I am unaware of such a determination for my agency.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks Much!
