Buy American Influence on Steel Building Projects

Writer: ckovolenkockovolenko

Many large corporations and Government agencies require special documentation, submittals and inspections in order for the contractor to complete the building project. 


At International Ventures, several new provisions are impacting projects.

  • American Iron and Steel provision

  • Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)

  • Buy America 

  

The "American Iron and Steel" provision requires recipients to use iron and steel products that are produced in the United States for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public water system or treatment works.


The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act , also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is an investment to rebuild the nation's water, road, transit, and broadband systems, grow the economy, and create good-paying jobs.


Implementing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provisions broadened the scope of Buy America requirements on federally funded infrastructure projects. Surprising, the Buy America mandates go back decades.The domestic-preference requirements for iron, steel and some types of manufactured products pre-date the IIJA. But that statute expands the domestic-preference scope. Folded into the IIJA is the text of the Build America, Buy America Act, which still requires use of domestic iron, steel and manufactured products but adds construction materials to the Buy America list on federally funded infrastructure projects.


If your project requires documentation we can have the following certifications prepared for you:


Made In the USA certification that the building conforms to the content provisions of the Buy American Act and the American Iron and Steel provision.
