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
o
highway 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
o
highway projects must occur in the United States.
AND
The cost of U.S.-produced components in manufactured products must be greater than
o
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).
