Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act. 1. Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(iii) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--
A. A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;
B. Unit of measure;

X. Xxxxx;
E. Time of delivery or availability;
F. Location of the construction project;
G. Name and address of the proposed supplier; and
H. A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(iii) of this clause.
2. A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.
3. The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).
4. Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.
(ii) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American Act applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(iii)(1) of this clause.
(iii) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.
