What you need to know about the Build America, Buy America Act

Enacted in 2021 as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) established a domestic content procurement preference requiring that all iron, steel, manufactured products and construction materials used in federally funded projects for infrastructure are produced in the U.S.

By prioritizing domestic production and procurement of products and components, the BABAA aims to create jobs, boost the economy, strengthen supply chains and empower businesses here in the U.S. However, like with many federally funded projects, demonstrating compliance is a key factor to a project’s success.

During this on-demand webinar, Baker Tilly presenters detail the intricacies of the BABAA as it relates to requirements and compliance. Viewers will also learn about:

• What is a qualifying project?
• Consequences for non-compliance
• What do manufacturers need to know?
• Documenting compliance
• Compliance risks

This on-demand webinar is intended for internal audit professionals, facility administrators, CFOs, COOs, directors of capital projects, project professionals and other professionals involved in manufacturing products, construction project management and facilities development.
