According to USAID’s Automated Directives System (ADS) which provides details regarding USAID’s policies and guidelines, ADS Chapter 311 – Local Procurement, Last Revised 10/17/2000, explains when procurement from the host country is authorized and what rules apply when you purchase from host country.

What Is Local Procurement?
Local procurement is the purchasing of goods or services from vendors in the country where the USAID activity is taking place. This includes countries where USAID is funding an activity even if no USAID employees are working in that country. Under regional activities, if the countries included in the activity are not already included in the authorized source code, procurement from any of the countries in that region is considered local procurement.
