SchubertIIIIIII1 III 1111 Under Secretary of Labor LM095957 U.S. Department of Labor Washington, D.C. 20210 Dear Mr. Schubert: -' By letter dated October 3, 1973, to Congressman Chet Holifield, you requested assistance on one of the Prjqcurement Commissio;ecom- mendatiqns. The recommendation concerns establishing a minimum procurement vlo$0 00 atwhieh-he Buy-Amer-ica-Act.is to be administered. Your Department has the lead responsibility to develop a proposed executive branch response to the recommendation. Your letter indicated that agency resources were not available to determine the impact of the change on American labor and industry and you requested our assistance in the matter. Since November 1973 we have been working on this matter with your representatives and the Office of Procurement Management, General Serv- ices Administration (GSA). In summary, extensive fieldwork by Study Group 2 of the Commission on Government Procurement, a search of Comptroller General decisions on Buy American issues, and information furnished by two GSA operating divisions which procure foreign pro- ducts indicate that foreign bidders have had little interest in U.S. procurements under $10,000. GSA procurement officials reported that bids to supply foreign products have not been significant in number until the procurement value approaches $50,000. Further details are contained in the enclosed staff paper prepared by the GSA Office of Procurement Management. In accordance with his request, a copy of this letter is being sent to Congressman Holifield. Sincerely yours, of the United States Enclosure
