TAA — Trade Agreements Act (USA)
Definition
A US procurement compliance requirement mandating that products purchased by federal agencies originate from designated countries (US allies and trade partners).
Context & Usage
TAA compliance is critical for federal contractors selling IT hardware to government agencies. TAA-designated countries include US, Canada, Mexico, EU member states, Japan, Korea, and others. Products manufactured in non-TAA countries (China, India for some categories, Russia) are TAA-non-compliant. Major OEMs (Dell, HPE, Cisco) publish TAA-compliant SKU lists.
Examples
- Dell PowerEdge R740 manufactured in Ireland (TAA-compliant)
- HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 from Mexico (TAA-compliant)
