American workers and manufacturers will benefit from new Buy America waiver guidelines

WASHINGTON D.C. – The Made in America Office at the Office of Management and Budget has unveiled a new Buy America waiver transparency process. Under this new guidance, the 24 largest federal agencies must enter proposed non-availability waivers into a digital portal on the Made in America Office website, allowing the public to review them — and give American companies and workers an opportunity to challenge waivers and compete for more federally funded contracts.

Smaller government agencies will be required to follow this new process by Jan. 1, 2022.
