general, BAP requires that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and
construction materials used in infrastructure projects funded with Federal
financial assistance (FFA) must be produced in the United States, unless a
waiver is in place requiring otherwise. Bidders shall submit evidence of
materials produced in the United States as part of the submission.
