At Orange Aluminum, we are committed to supporting American manufacturing by ensuring our aluminum products fully comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) requirements.

What is BABAA Compliance?

BABAA requires that all aluminum used in federally funded infrastructure projects be 100% sourced, melted, and manufactured in the United States. Compliance ensures that taxpayer-funded projects support domestic industries and maintain high-quality standards.

BABAA Compliance Requirements for Aluminum Distributors

To meet BABAA standards, aluminum distributors must follow these key requirements:

• Domestic Sourcing:

• BABAA-compliant aluminum must be 100% melted and produced in the United States.
• No foreign aluminum content is permitted for federally funded projects.

• Manufacturing & Processing:

• All processes, from initial melting to final production, must take place in the U.S.
• This includes rolling, extrusion, and any further processing.

• Certification & Documentation:

• Distributors must provide certification of compliance verifying that aluminum meets BABAA requirements.
• Maintain traceability records to confirm the material’s domestic origin.

• Supplier & Vendor Compliance:

• Work with U.S.-based mills and foundries that meet BABAA standards.
• Ensure supply chain partners adhere to domestic sourcing and processing mandates.

• End-Use Considerations:

• BABAA-compliant materials are required for federally funded infrastructure projects.
• Some exemptions or waivers may apply but must receive federal approval.
