SBA, GSA Remove Over 20 China-Linked Products as Trump Pushes Made-in-America Procurement

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 12

Summary

  • Nearly two dozen products were pulled from the federal Advantage! marketplace after the SBA and GSA said some China-linked vendors may have falsely marketed goods as American-made.
  • Kelly Loeffler said the action followed complaints that some companies were only partially assembling or finishing products in the U.S. while claiming "Made in America" status.
  • The SBA said such mislabeling can expose agencies and contractors to violations of domestic-sourcing rules, including the 1933 Buy American Act and older defense procurement requirements.
  • The move extends a broader Trump administration push to steer federal spending toward U.S. manufacturers and limit procurement risks tied to China-sourced goods.
  • SBA did not identify the vendors removed, though Sherrill Manufacturing, a New York flatware maker, said it had raised the concerns at a White House small business summit.
