The Buy American Act (BAA) is a law that helps to support American businesses and manufacturers. It requires federal agencies and departments to purchase goods made in the United States unless unavailable or expensive. This policy protects American jobs and ensures taxpayer dollars are spent on American-made products. The Buy American Act has been around since 1933, and it’s still a meaningful way to promote domestic manufacturing and economic growth.

This act significantly impacts the commercial lighting industry, as lighting fixtures are often required in government buildings, schools, hospitals, and other public facilities. By prioritizing American-made lighting products, the Buy American Act helps to create jobs and support domestic manufacturing.

Here is a snapshot of our many partner manufacturers that are BAA compliant.
