The Build America, Buy America Act[1] applies a domestic content procurement preference requirement (Buy America Requirement) to Federally funded public “infrastructure projects” with the goal of increasing a resilient domestic supply chain and manufacturing supply for critical materials both for emerging and existing industries in the United States. The Build America, Buy America Act is referred to as Buy America, Buy American, BABA Act or BABAA. Its provisions are different than the Buy American Act of 1933 (41 USC 10a-10d).
