Understanding the Build America, Buy America Act
Under the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in federally funded infrastructure projects be produced in the United States. Effective for projects receiving federal funding after May 14, 2022, this mandate supports domestic manufacturing, job growth and long-term reliability while ensuring eligibility for major programs such as IIJA, BEAD and NEVI. Noncompliance can lead to funding delays or disqualification, making adherence essential for any federally supported infrastructure initiative.
