Q - A company's GSA software products can be purchased via three different methods:
1. Purchasing the software on a diskette (CD)
2. Downloading the software directly to the customer’s computer (“direct download”)
3. Through a software as a service (SaaS) application delivery model
For purposes of the TAA substantial transformation test, can anyone provide any insight and/or recent rulings that would help in identifying each method’s country of origin?

See the article in Volume 43, No. 2 of the Procurement Lawyer, Winter 2008. It addresses this issue, in part.

that article was quite interesting yet left me with more questions regarding how to determine country of origin for direct download software. Anyone have any current info regarding the questions that are required to be asked to determine when substantial transormation has occurred throughout the software product's development lifecycle? Thanks in advance.
