Notice Regarding Upcoming Buy America Changes
On January 14, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) terminated its General Waiver for
Manufactured Products and established specific Buy America requirements for their use on Federal-aid highway
projects.
This means that as of the following dates, materials defined as manufactured products permanently incorporated
into Federal-aid highway projects will have to be manufactured in the United States.
Key Implementation Dates
* Phase 1: contracts obligated on or after October 1, 2025
Final assembly of all manufactured products permanently incorporated into Federal-aid highway
o
projects must occur in the United States.
* Phase 2: contracts obligated on or after October 1, 2026
Final assembly of all manufactured products permanently incorporated into Federal-aid highway
o
projects must occur in the United States.
AND
The cost of U.S.-produced components in manufactured products must be greater than 55% of the
o
total cost of all components.
Definition of Manufactured Products
Manufactured Products are defined as articles, materials, or supplies that:
* Have been processed into a specific form and shape, or
* Have been combined with other articles or supplies to create a product with different properties than the
individual articles, materials, or supplies.
This places greater emphasis on using domestically produced materials on these projects and is consistent with the
Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
