Highlights
The Veterans Administration (VA) requested a decision concerning whether, in applying the Buy American Act, structural steel detailing should be considered a component of fabricated steel. GAO held that the detailing was not a material component of the steel that was directly or physically incorporated into the steel. Accordingly, VA should not apply the act to steel detailing.
