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 55% of the 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).

This is the opportunity summary page. It provides an overview of this opportunity and a preview of the attached documentation.
