Understanding how BayWa r.e. categorizes our USA manufactured products
×
Assembled in USA
The broadest category for any products with country of origin as USA
Labeling of the product must comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules and enforcement policy
Express Claims may include: “Made in USA,” “Our products are American-made,” “USA,” “Manufactured in USA,” or “Built in USA.”
Intended to represent products that are “all or virtually all” made in the USA
Room for qualified exceptions, but could be deceptive in practice and thus hard to guarantee claim is legitimate in all cases
No further documentation or authorization available from the manufacturer, other than product labelling
Build American Act (BAA) Compliant
Broadly, this product complies with any government funded project requiring a certain total percentage of domestically produced equipment be utilized
Documented via a certified letter or compliance certificate specifically identifying the US Government Act for which the product meets compliance requirements (e.g. Build America Act (BAA), Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act)
This designation is binary (compliant or not) and applies to the entire value of the finished product regardless of origin of the components
Badge indicates that documentation is available from the manufacturer for this product, and identifies the specific Act(s) for which the products domestic manufacturing (or qualified exemptions) apply
Build American, Buy America Act (BABA) Compliant
Documented via a certified letter or compliance certificate specifically identifying the US Government Act for which the product meets compliance requirements (e.g. Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act)
This designation is binary (compliant or not) and applies to the entire value of the finished product regardless of origin of the components
Badge indicates that documentation is available from the manufacturer for this product, and identifies the specific Act(s) for which the products domestic manufacturing (or qualified exemptions) apply
Requirements for BABA laws are applicable to federal financial assistance (such as grants), not procurement as is the case with BAA laws
Domestic Content Compliant
Specifically managed products with manufacturer authorized contributing domestic content component values, specifically for use under the 2022 IRA Domestic Content Commercial Tax Credit adder (ITC and PTC)
Under the current IRA Policy and guidance for this tax credit adder, a finished product must contain domestically manufactured components, and be assembled, finished, or packaged in the USA
The amount of domestic content must be determined and documented by the manufacturer under either the direct cost using the Adjusted Percentage Rule or using the Elective Safe Harbor rate tables
Compliance documentation, including the contribution rate, must be secured from the manufacturer. Reference to the specific project utilization of the procured and installed compliant equipment may also be required
Badge indicates compliance with these requirements and has been verified for this specific product and SKU name only. Alternative non-domestic content equivalent product may also be available
