The Buy America Act, 23 U.S.C. §313, prohibits states from using highway grant funds under 23 U.S.C. Chapter 4 to purchase products unless they are produced in the United States. This prohibition applies to steel, iron and all manufactured products, unless the Secretary of Transportation has determined that it is appropriate to waive the Buy America Act requirement. For compliance purposes, “American-made” covers any product that is manufactured or assembled in the United States.
