As prescribed in 19.507(h), insert the following clause:
Nonmanufacturer Rule (SEP 2021)
Manufacturer means the concern that transforms raw materials, miscellaneous parts, or components into the end item. Concerns that only minimally alter the item being procured do not qualify as manufacturers of the end item. Concerns that add substances, parts, or components to an existing end item to modify its performance will not be considered the end item manufacturer, where those identical modifications can be performed by and are available from the manufacturer of the existing end item.
Nonmanufacturer means a concern, including a supplier, that provides an end item it did not manufacture, process, or produce.
