Don't know why SOCOM had to go to FN and not American companies. FNH USA is an American company based in McLean, VA and the SCAR is produced in Columbia, SC alongside other US military contract small arms like the M240 and M249/Mk46/Mk48 machine guns.
The SCAR will also be available semiauto only for commercial sale soon, as the SCAR 16S/17S in 556/762.

The semiauto rifle is actually available for sale today, but limited quantities and demand have driven prices well above the $2600 MSRP.
But kudos to FN for selling it on the commercial market.
