FAR 25.101(d)(2)(i) refers to 25.1101(b)(1)(v); paragraph 25.1101(b)(1) ends at (iv)

FAR 25.101(d)(2)(i) says “See 25.1101(a)(1)(ii) or 25.1101(b)(1)(v) for use of the appropriate Alternate clause”. Paragraph 25.1101(b)(1) ends at (iv), which prescribes Alternate IV for the alternate domestic content test. The FAR Overhaul version refers to 25.601(b)(1)(v), which also ends at (iv).
