Federal infrastructure funding now requires strict compliance with Build America, Buy America (BABA) manufactured products requirements. As of October 1, 2025, Phase 1 mandates that final assembly of all manufactured products must occur in the United States. Beginning October 1, 2026, Phase 2 adds the requirement that domestic components must exceed 55 percent of total product cost. These requirements apply to all federal-aid infrastructure projects, eliminating the decades-old Manufactured Products General Waiver.
Sensys Networks traffic detection systems already meet both Phase 1 and Phase 2 BABA requirements without waivers. Our assembly operations in Oakland, California and Mankato, Minnesota, combined with custom components manufactured across seven additional U.S. facilities, ensure full compliance. All electronic assembly and final testing occur domestically. Over the past decade, Sensys Networks has undertaken substantial efforts to onshore production, prioritizing USA manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain flexibility.
This regulatory change affects the entire domestic traffic detection market. Agencies should verify BABA compliance early in the planning process to avoid delays or complications when securing federal funding. Our products are ready now for projects moving forward under the new requirements.
