Win More Projects with BABA Compliance

Unlock New Opportunities for Your Contracting Business

Secure Federally Funded Projects through BABA Compliance

Are you aiming to expand your business by offering BABA compliant solutions required for infrastructure projects? The Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, opens the door to a wide range of federally funded projects by requiring the use of domestically produced goods for infrastructure work in the United States. Federal agencies are enforcing these requirements under section 2 CFR part 184, making BABA compliance essential for contractors who want to bid on and win these lucrative opportunities. By ensuring your projects use qualifying products, you maximize your customers eligibility for financial assistance, grants, cooperative agreements, and loan guarantees.

Streamline Your Bidding Process with BABA-Compliant Solutions from ABB

With ABB’s extensive portfolio of BABA-compliant products, you can confidently meet contract requirements and streamline your project submittals. Our broad selection of solutions comes with Certificates of Compliance, so you can focus on winning bids and growing your business, rather than worrying about regulatory hurdles. Locating and specifying compliant products is straightforward at ABB, making it easier for you to prepare qualified bids for government-funded projects.
