What it says

Requires delivery of domestic end products: manufactured in the U.S. with a domestic component cost above the applicable threshold. Foreign end products face price evaluation penalties or exclusion.

Why it matters on DIBBS

Sourcing from overseas on a Buy American solicitation is a compliance failure, not a pricing decision. Verify country of origin and component content before quoting.
