For November 2022 letting, BABA required state DOTs to classify materials as Iron or Steel products, Construction Materials, or Manufactured products. Therefore, classification is stated via Special Provision, Form 2806, and the Buy America Material Classification Sheet found

on TxDOT.gov.

Section 70917 (c), “Materials,” were added as a classification starting December 2023 letting. These materials did not have an official title for contracts letting through November 2023, but were still exempt from BABA requirements.

Construction Material classification definition is different depending on the letting date of the contract. Therefore, Construction Materials are specifically listed in a special provision to item 6, Buy America Material Classification Sheet and , “Construction Materials Buy America Certification”.
