FAR PART 52--52.220-1

Preference for Labor Surplus Area Concerns.

52.220-1 Preference for Labor Surplus Area Concerns.

As prescribed in 20.103(b), insert the following provision in solicitations and contracts that (a) exceed the appropriate small purchase limitation in Part 13, and (b) are not set aside for labor surplus area concerns:

PREFERENCE FOR LABOR SURPLUS AREA CONCERNS (APR 1984)

(a) This acquisition is not a set-aside for labor surplus area (LSA) concerns. However, the offeror's status as such a concern may affect (1) entitlement to award in case of tie offers, or (2) offer evaluation in accordance with the Buy American Act clause of this solicitation. In order to determine whether the offeror is entitled to a preference under (1) or (2) above, the offeror must identify, below, the LSA in which the costs to be incurred on account of manufacturing or production (by the offeror or the first-tier subcontractors) amount to more than 50% of the contract price.

______________________________________

______________________________________

(b) Failure to identify the locations as specified above will preclude consideration of the offeror as an LSA concern. If the offeror is awarded a contract as an LSA concern and would not have otherwise qualified for award, the offeror shall perform the contract or cause the contract to be performed in accordance with the obligations of an LSA concern.
