PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT AND PRODUCTS UNDER NIH ASSISTANCE AWARDS - BUYAMERICAN PROVISIONS NIH GUIDE, Volume 23, Number 7, February 18, 1994 P.T. Keywords: National Institutes of Health The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act (P.L. 103-43, June 10, 1993) places certain requirements on recipients of assistance with respect to the purchase of equipment and supplies. Specifically, section 2004 (Buy American Provisions) requires that if any equipment or product is authorized to be purchased with financial assistance provided pursuant to this Act for any of the fiscal years 1994 through 1996, entities receiving such assistance should, in expending the assistance, purchase only American-made equipment and products. Section 2004 further requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in providing financial assistance pursuant to this Act, to provide each recipient of the assistance a notice describing the above statement, made by the Congress. Thus, recipients of NIH assistance awards (including those subcontracts for substantive programmatic work under NIH assistance awards) are strongly encouraged, when purchasing equipment and products, to expend the assistance for American-made equipment and products, whenever possible. Beginning in fiscal year 1994, notices of grant and fellowship award will include a footnote containing the following language: "Pursuant to the NIH Revitalization Act (P.L. 103-43, June 10, 1993), section 2004, when purchasing equipment or products under this assistance award, the recipient should, whenever possible, purchase only American-made items." If you have any questions concerning this policy, contact the NIH grants management contact listed on the notice of grant or fellowship award. .
