Buy America Requirements

Buy America Requirements are regulations that encourage government agencies to purchase goods, especially iron and steel, produced in the United States. The goal is to support American industry and ensure that federal funds are used to buy domestically-made products. Typically, this means that certain projects must prioritize or require the use of American-made materials unless specific exceptions apply. These rules help promote U.S. manufacturing and ensure transparency in public spending, but they also aim to balance national economic interests with procurement needs.
