The Buy America (BA) provisions, originally established under the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982, require that certain materials used in federally funded transportation infrastructure projects—such as highways, bridges, and transit systems—be produced in the United States. These rules apply primarily to iron, steel, and manufactured products, and are enforced by agencies like the Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration. Unlike BABA, which has a broader scope across various infrastructure types, Buy America is more focused on transportation-related projects. The goal is to support domestic industry, preserve U.S. manufacturing jobs, and ensure taxpayer dollars are reinvested into the American economy. Compliance is essential for contractors receiving federal funding.
