Made in America Waivers Data

Our goal is to encourage investment in American manufacturing by providing data showing where domestic options are currently limited. This helps businesses target their investments while ensuring government agencies and funding recipients can effectively meet their needs.

Made in America Laws require federal agencies to prioritize American-made products for both direct federal purchases (procurement) and infrastructure projects funded through federal grants, loans, or loan guarantees (federal financial assistance). Rare cases exist where exceptions—i.e., "waivers"—are necessary. This happens when domestic options are either unavailable, unreasonably expensive, or do not exist in sufficient quantities.

This transparency portal provides access to information on proposed and approved waivers in a way that creates value for multiple stakeholders:

• Businesses can identify market opportunities where domestic manufacturing could fill existing gaps
• Federal agencies can share information that signals demand for Made in America compliant products
• Contractors and grant recipients can understand existing waivers when bidding on projects
• State and local governments can access information about available waivers for federally-funded infrastructure projects

For questions about specific waivers, contact information for the issuing agency is provided within each waiver listing.
