How Trump’s “Buy American and Hire American” Could Alter Procurements -

The President’s “Buy American and Hire American” Executive Order (EO), issued April 18, 2017, reflects Executive Branch policy and orders several agencies to submit reports due in 60 and 150 days. But it does not change the statutes and regulations that currently govern Federal procurement and Buy American requirements. As such, the EO will have no immediate effect on existing Federal contracts and solicitations. But it could result in recommendations to affect future procurements.
