participating in public defense
procurements conducted by or on behalf
of the Argentine Ministry of Defense or
Armed Forces. The contemplated MOU
would involve reciprocal waivers of
buy-national laws by each country. This
would mean that Argentina would be
added to the list of ‘‘qualifying
countries’’ in the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS) and that U.S. products and
services would be exempt from ‘‘Buy
Argentine’’ laws applicable to
procurements by the Argentine Ministry
of Defense and Armed Forces.
DATES: Comments must be received by
September 30, 2005.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
to Director, Defense Procurement and
Acquisition Policy, 3060 Defense
Pentagon, Attn: Mr. Daniel C. Nielsen,
Washington, DC 20301–3060; or by email to barbara.glotfelty@osd.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Barbara Glotfelty, OUSD(AT&L),
Director of Defense Procurement and
Acquisition Policy, Program Acquisition
and International Contracting, Room
5E581, 3060 Defense Pentagon,
Washington, DC 20301–3060; telephone
(703) 697–9351.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Reciprocal Defense Procurement MOUs
DoD has with 21 countries are signed at
the level of the Secretary of Defense and
his counterpart. The purpose of these
MOUs is to promote rationalization,
standardization, and interoperability of
defense equipment with allies and
friendly governments. It provides a
framework for ongoing communication
regarding market access and
procurement matters that affect effective
defense cooperation. Based on the
MOU, each country affords the other
certain benefits on a reciprocal basis,
consistent with national laws and
regulations. For 19 of the 21 MOU
countries, these include evaluation of
offers without applying price
differentials under ‘‘Buy National’’ laws
(e.g., the Buy American Act), and
making provision for duty-free
certificates.
Argentina was designated a Major
Non-NATO Ally by the United States in
January 1998, in recognition of its
contributions to international security
and peacekeeping.
The countries with which DoD has
Reciprocal Defense Procurement MOUs
are identified in DFARS 225.872–1.
Should an MOU be concluded with
Argentina, Argentina would be added to
the list of qualifying countries. If, based
on and in conjunction with the MOU,
DoD determines that it would be
inconsistent with the public interest to
VerDate Aug<18>2005

Jkt 205001
apply the restrictions of the Buy
American Act to the acquisition of
Argentine defense equipment and
supplies, Argentina would be listed in
DFARS 225.872–1(a). If a determination
will be made on a purchase-by-purchase
basis, Argentina would be listed in
DFARS 225.872–1(b).
MOUs generally include language by
which the parties agree that their
procurements will be conducted in
accordance with certain implementing
procedures. These procedures include
publication of notices of proposed
purchases; the content and availability
of solicitations for proposed purchases;
notification to each unsuccessful
offeror; feedback, upon request, to
unsuccessful offerors concerning the
reasons they were not allowed to
participate in a procurement or were not
awarded a contract; and providing for
the hearing and review of complaints
arising in connection with any phase of
the procurement process to ensure that,
to the extent possible, complaints are
equitably and expeditiously resolved
between an offeror and the procuring
activity.
While DoD has evaluated Argentine
laws and regulations regarding public
procurements, DoD would benefit from
knowledge of U.S. industry experience
in participating in Argentine public
defense procurements. We are,
therefore, asking U.S. firms that have
participated or attempted to participate
in procurements by or on behalf of
Argentina’s Ministry of Defense or
Armed Forces to let us know if the
procurements were conducted in
accordance with published procedures
with fairness and due process, and if
not, the nature of the problems
encountered.
