TAA Compliance Clause Samples
The TAA Compliance clause requires that products or services provided under a contract must comply with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), meaning they must be manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries approved by the Act. In practice, this clause obligates suppliers to verify and certify the origin of their goods, ensuring that none are sourced from non-compliant countries such as China or India, unless specifically allowed. The core function of this clause is to ensure that government procurement aligns with international trade agreements and legal requirements, thereby reducing the risk of contract violations and promoting fair trade practices.
TAA Compliance. Any product(s) provided under this agreement is subject to and shall be in compliance with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). It is the responsibility of the Contractor to determine TAA compliance. Certification of TAA compliance and/or the country of original (COO) is not required under this agreement but shall be furnished at the request of the Contracting Officer for this BPA or by the ordering office in the individual orders. In the event there are questions pertaining to the validity of the product(s) with respect to TAA compliance then the Government reserves the discretion to verify with the original equipment manufacturer the origin of the product(s).
