Navigating Build America, Buy America (BABA)


Posted on Thursday Feb 22, 2024 at 02:28PM in General


In the evolving landscape of American innovation, legislative initiatives like the Build America Buy America Act (BABA) are reshaping priorities toward domestic manufacturing. As the nation sets its sights on self-sufficiency and economic growth, Connexion is stepping up to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by these new policies.

The BABA Act

The BABA Act was enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021. To strengthen the US economy and reduce our reliance on foreign made products, this legislation requires the procurement of American-made products in federally funded contracts for infrastructure projects. Ensuring seamless alignment with the stringent requirements set forth by the BABA legislation, Connexion, as a dedicated partner to our contractor clients, guarantees that each product within this category not only meets but exceeds the stipulated standards.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021

The IIJA of 2021 promises a revitalization of America's infrastructure by investing $1 trillion and creating 2 million jobs. With a focus on transportation (including airports, roads, and bridges) and clean energy, Connexion commits to providing the necessary products to support projects within the IIJA, playing a vital role in rebuilding the nation's backbone.

IIJA Funds and Grants

The IIJA allocates funds and grants for critical public infrastructure improvements, emphasizing resilience, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, safety, and security. Additionally, the act supports energy-efficient upgrades to airports and port infrastructure, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, it promotes the development of electric vehicle charging and fueling infrastructure.

Meeting Your Requirements

Navigating the complexities of this legislation requires a partner who understands diverse procurement options from electrical manufacturers. Connexion collaborates with a broad network of valued suppliers, ensuring a wide spectrum of products to meet the varied requirements of the BABA legislation and the IIJA. As your dedicated partner, Connexion simplifies the process, ensuring a streamlined experience for all stakeholders.

Your Project, Covered with Connexion

If your project aligns with the goals of the BABA legislation or falls within the scope of the IIJA, Connexion is your trusted partner. With a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory landscape, we are equipped to guide you through the complexities, ensuring that your project receives the support it needs.

As America charts a course towards a more self-reliant and technologically advanced future, Connexion stands ready to contribute to the success of projects within the BABA legislation and the IIJA. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient America.
