Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA)

Under the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA), federal agencies are mandated to prioritize U.S.-made construction materials, ensuring that infrastructure projects financially supported by the federal government use domestically produced iron, steel, and other construction materials. The BABAA criteria delve into specific manufacturing processes for non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer-based products, and composite building materials. Elevate stands out in adherence to these requirements, offering certification letters as a testament to the domestic manufacturing of its products. For those engaging in federal projects and needing BABAA compliance certification, Elevate simplifies the process. To secure a certification letter tailored to a specific project, simply reach out to your local Elevate Sales Representative with pertinent project details.

American Iron and Steel Provision (AIS) Program

The American Iron and Steel (AIS) provision mandates that projects supported by the USDA Rural Utilities Service Water and Environmental Programs (WEP) and State Relief Fund (SRF) utilize U.S.-produced iron and steel products. This encompasses a wide range of products from lined or unlined pipes, manhole covers, and hydrants to structural steel, which is integral in the construction of buildings. 'Produced in the U.S.' signifies that all stages of manufacturing, from melting to fabricating, happen within the U.S. borders. It's crucial to note that while there are various domestic preference requirements, the AIS stipulation stands distinct. Elevate upholds this requirement, offering specialized certification letters that affirm the U.S.-based manufacturing of its products. Those seeking AIS compliance certification for projects can obtain a bespoke certification letter by furnishing essential project details.
