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

o Final assembly of all manufactured products permanently incorporated into Federal-aid

highway projects must occur in the United States.

• Phase 2: contracts obligated on or after October 1, 2026

o Final assembly of all manufactured products permanently incorporated into Federal-aid

highway projects must occur in the United States.

AND

o The cost of U.S.-produced components in manufactured products must be greater than

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).
