"DFARS 252.225-7052 restricts DoD acquisition of non-domestic specialty metals including antimony"
DFARS 252.225-7052 and the underlying specialty-metals statute (10 USC 4863) restrict DoD acquisition of end items containing non-domestic specialty metals including antimony, tungsten, samarium-cobalt and NdFeB magnets.
This is a human-established fact, not a universal axiom. It is true within US as enacted by US Department of Defense (Defense Acquisition Regulations System).

Answer
sec:answer-4b4ce5fa
DFARS clause 252.225-7052 (Restriction on the Acquisition of Certain Magnets and Tungsten / 252.225-7008 Specialty Metals, as progressively tightened) implements the statutory specialty-metals prohibition in 10 USC 4863 (formerly 10 USC 2533b). The clause prohibits DoD prime contractors from delivering end items containing specialty metals that were not melted or produced in the United States or a qualifying country, unless a domestic-non-availability determination applies. Antimony, tungsten, tantalum, samarium-cobalt and neodymium-iron-boron magnets are progressively being scoped into strict domestic-sourcing rules through FY23-FY25 NDAAs.
