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).
