• Abstract:
  On January 14, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a final rule terminating its general waiver on manufactured products and establishing new Buy America requirements for manufactured products used in Federal-aid highway projects ("the Manufactured Products Final Rule"). The effective date of the Manufactured Products Final Rule is March 20, 2025 (90 FR 2932; 90 FR 11139). For projects obligated before March 20, 2025, FHWA continues to apply its Buy America requirements as they existed before the final rule, including the application of the general waiver on manufactured products. More information on the requirements that apply to projects obligated before March 20, 2025 can be found here: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/contracts/buyam_qa.cfm. FHWA has modified its Buy America-Related Q&As page to reflect the effect of the Manufactured Products Final Rule on projects obligated on or after March 20, 2025.
