Inapplicability of Berry Amendment exceptions to certain seafood purchases

Division A · Title XVIII: Revitalization of the Defense Industrial Base · Subtitle F: Other Matters

Plain-language summaryAI

The law clarifies that certain exceptions allowing flexibility in purchasing rules do not apply when buying fish, shellfish, or seafood products for the Department of Defense. This means all seafood purchases must follow the standard sourcing requirements without those exceptions. However, items bought for resale in military stores and exchanges remain exempt from the main sourcing rule.
