Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.
This is a human-established fact. It holds within US as enacted by US Congress; federal contracting agencies.

Answer

The Buy American Act of 1933 (41 USC 8301-8305) requires federal agencies to procure 'domestic end products' — items manufactured in the US from components that are more than 60% domestic (rising to 75% by 2029 under the 2022 amendments) — absent an unreasonable-cost, non-availability or public-interest exception. Implemented via FAR Part 25 and DFARS Part 225. Works alongside the separate Berry Amendment (10 USC 4862) for textiles/food and the specialty-metals restriction (10 USC 4863).
