Buy American Act (BAA) and Build America Buy America Act (BABA)
Guidance For Federal Domestic Procurement Regulations
Many projects include provisions that require procurement of domestic products. These requirements typically apply to U.S. federal projects but may also apply to state or municipal funded projects. These projects require compliance with either Buy America(n) (BAA) or Build America Buy America Act (BABA).
BAA is the traditional Buy America or Buy American program for government agencies that have a Buy America or Buy American program in place. These are longstanding programs which we normally see through direct federal government procurement under the Federal Acquisition Regulations or FAR, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations or DFARS, or the various Department of Transportation Regulations through Federal Transit Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, and Federal Rail Administration.
