The Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) passed in 2021, requires that federally funded infrastructure projects use materials produced in the United States. This includes iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials, all of which must meet specific domestic content and production requirements. For manufactured products, at least 55% of the component cost must be from U.S. sources, and final assembly must also occur domestically. BABA is designed to strengthen American manufacturing, create jobs, and increase supply chain resilience. While waivers can be requested under certain conditions, strict documentation and approval processes apply.
