ACTION: Request for industry feedback regarding experience in public (particularly defense) procurements conducted by the Republic of Poland. AGENCY: SUMMARY: DoD is soliciting information from U.S. industry that has had experience participating in public defense procurements conducted by or on behalf of Poland’s Ministry of National Defense or Armed Forces. DoD is considering the possibility of negotiating a Reciprocal Defense Procurement Memorandum of Understanding (RDP MOU) with Poland. The contemplated MOU would involve reciprocal waivers of buynational laws by each country. This would mean that Poland would be added to the list of ‘‘qualifying countries’’ in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and that offers of products of Poland would be exempt from the U.S. Buy American Act and Balance of Payments Program policy that would otherwise require DoD to add 50 percent to the price of the foreign products when evaluating offers. This also means that U.S. products should be exempt from any analogous ‘‘Buy Polish’’ law or policy applicable to Poland’s defense procurements. DoD is interested in industry comments relating to the transparency, integrity, and general fairness of Poland’s public (defense) procurement processes. DoD is also interested in comments relating to the degree of reciprocity that exists between the United States and Poland when it comes to the openness of defense procurements to offers of products of the other country. DATES: Comments, which will be treated in a confidential manner, must be received by July 16, 2008. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments to: Office of the Director, Defense Procurement, Acquisition Policy, and Strategic Sourcing, ATTN: OUSD (AT&L) DPAP (CPIC), 3060 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301–3060; or by e-mail to barbara.glotfelty@osd.mil.
