The Build America, Buy America Act, a Revolutionary Change for Construction Contractors at the Federal Highway Administration

Oles Morrison – On November 15, 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration enacted the Build America, Buy America Act (“BABA”), which represents the latest and most expansive statue implementing what is commonly referred to as “Buy America,” a phrase used to describe the growing number of statutes obligating certain Federal agencies to require goods, products, and materials used in projects to be produced in the United States. BABA places requirements on all infrastructure projects receiving Federal financial assistance.
