Made in America FAQ
What is BAA compliance?
What is BABA compliance?
How does BAA/BABA compliance affect low-voltage linear lighting products?
To comply with BAA or BABA requirements, LED linear lighting products must meet specific manufacturing and material sourcing standards. These include:
- Manufacturing Location: The final assembly must take place in the U.S.
- Component Sourcing: A significant portion (65% for BAA and 55% for BABA) of the component costs must be of USA origin and do not include labor.
How can I verify if a low-voltage linear lighting product is BAA or BABA-compliant?
Manufacturers should provide documentation or product specifications indicating compliance. When sourcing lighting products for government or infrastructure projects, always request documentation from the supplier to ensure they meet the required standards.
How do I ensure my project remains compliant with BAA/BABA requirements?
- Work with manufacturers that specifically label products as BAA or BABA compliant.
- Request documentation to verify compliance before purchasing.
- Coordinate with project managers to ensure all materials and components align with compliance mandates.
Where can I find BAA/BABA-compliant low-voltage linear lighting products?
Do the Build America, Buy America provisions apply to all projects funded by federal or state entities?
What is a “manufactured product”?
The provisions require that all manufactured products used in an infrastructure project are manufactured in the United States. The cost of a product’s components that were mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States must also be greater than 55% of the total cost of the product’s components unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable law or regulation.
For example, the concrete on a construction site would be considered a manufactured product covered by the Build America, Buy America provisions because it is incorporated into the building or public work. Similarly, a “smart” thermostat that is brought to the site for incorporation into a building would be covered by the Build America, Buy America provisions. The individual parts that go into the thermostat, however, would be considered components or subcomponents and would not be subject to the Build America, Buy America provisions. By contrast, an energy-efficient desktop computer monitor does not become a permanent fixture of the building, and therefore is not “incorporated into” the building. As a result, the monitor does not fit the definition of a “manufactured product” and is not covered by the Build America, Buy America provisions.
