Projects funded by federal, state, or municipal entities are mandated to use domestic products that comply with the Buy American Act (BAA) or the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) standards. For compliance, a specific percentage of a product's components must be of U.S. origin—65% for BAA and 55% for BABAA as of 2024. These provisions are particularly relevant for LED lighting projects seeking eligibility for federal funding.

These provisions are particularly relevant for LED lighting projects seeking eligibility for federal funding.
BABA, enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021, established procurement preferences for federal infrastructure projects. It requires domestic components to make up a certain percentage of the total cost for federal funding eligibility, with a focus on three categories: iron or steel products, construction materials, and manufactured goods, including LED lighting.
