DFARS 252.225-7017 Photovoltaic Devices. (DEVIATION 2020-O0019) DEV (Jul 2020) (Current)

This class deviation is effective July 1, 2020 and implements the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), as enacted by Congress in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act. Chapter 13 of the USMCA (government procurement) applies only to the United States and Mexico and as a result, Canada is no longer a Free Trade Agreement country. Consequently, this class deviation replaces all references in the FAR and DFARS to NAFTA and 19 U.S.

As prescribed in 225.7017-4(a),

(1), use the clause at 252.225-7017, Photovoltaic Devices, in solicitations, including solicitations using FAR part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial items, for a contract expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold that may be a covered contract, i.e., an energy savings performance contract, a utility service contract, or a private housing contract awarded by DoD, if such contract will result in DoD ownership of photovoltaic devices, by means other than DoD purchase as end products.

(2)  Use the clause in the resultant contract, including contracts using FAR part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial items, if it is a covered contract.
