(1) General. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) was enacted on November 15, 2021 (BIL Build America, Buy America Act Publication L. No. 117-58). This provision expands the Buy America requirements beyond what was only required for steel and iron products. The steel and iron provisions have not changed with the new law. Buy America requirements are in effect only on Federal-Aid contracts and all construction materials shall be produced/manufactured in the United States. Items specifically excluded from this requirement are cement and cementitious materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; aggregate binding agents or additives (including asphalt binders). All other materials permanently incorporated into the project will be subject to Buy America requirements. (2) Definitions. A construction material includes an article, material, or supply that is or consists primarily of: o non-ferrous metals; o plastic and polymer-based products (including polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cable); o glass (including optic glass); o lumber; or o drywall. Items manufactured through a combination of either two or more materials listed above, or at least one of the materials listed above and a material not listed shall be considered as a manufactured product, rather than as a construction material. Build America, Buy America provisions specified for manufactured products in Section 70912(6)(B) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) do not apply to federal-aid construction projects per FHWA's existing statutory requirement applicable to manufactured products. A "manufactured product" is considered to be an item that undergoes one or more manufacturing processes before the item can be used on a construction project. All construction materials shall be produced in the United States. This means all manufacturing processes to produce the construction materials shall occur in the United States. All manufacturing processes for construction materials shall mean the final manufacturing process and the immediately preceding manufacturing stage for the construction material. (3) Compliance. The Contractor shall ensure that all manufacturing processes for each covered product comply with this Buy America Provision.
