References NTIB and will continue to assess impacts to the NTIB
Now US, UK, Australia, and Canada
FAR Exception to F&O Competition (Industrial mobilization) is currently unchanged

3. Path Forward Unapproved acquisitions
UNCLASSIFIEd
Path Forward
Unapproved acquisitions
US & Canada must be explicitly called out if that is intent
Limiting to NTIB means limiting to all four countries
Approved acquisitions limiting to NTIB may need to change if contract not awarded
If J&A references (b)(iv)(B)
This reason no longer supports limiting to the NTIB
Section 806 (and possibly AP/ASR) or J&A need to change
If J&A limits to NTIB using another reason
You are now limiting to all four countries 3
