No, IAW DFARS 225.1101 (1) If solicitation includes provision FAR 52.204-7, do not list the provision 252.225-7000 in the solicitation.

IAW the combination synopsis / solicitation, if 52.225-2 is not completed and submitted with the quote for foreign end products as required by the provision, the quote will not be considered responsive and the quote will not able to be reviewed for technical evaluation since the government utilizes the 52.225-2 to determine foreign end product and the county of origin.
