# §228.03. Identification of the authorized principal geographic procurement codes.

- (a) **USAID has established principal geographic codes which are used by USAID in implementing instruments.** This regulation establishes a presumptive authorized principal geographic code, Code 937, for procurement of commodities and services unless otherwise specified in the implementing instrument. Code 937 is defined as the United States, the cooperating/recipient country, and developing countries other than advanced developing countries, and excluding prohibited sources. USAID maintains a list of developing countries, advanced developing countries, and prohibited sources, which will be available in USAID's Automated Directives System, ADS 310.
- (b) For purposes of procurements under the authority of the Development Fund for Africa, [22 U.S.C. 2293](/usc/22/2293.md) et seq.; for any waivers authorized under [Subpart D](/cfr/22/subpartD.md) of this regulation; and if otherwise designated in an implementing instrument, the authorized principal geographic code shall be Code 935, any area or country but excluding prohibited sources.
- (c) For purposes of procurements under the Support for Economic and Democratic Development of the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union, [22 U.S.C. 2295b](/usc/22/2295b.md), the authorized principal geographic codes are Code 937 and Code 110 (New Independent States).
