"Buy America" is a policy that encourages the purchase of American-made products and services. It aims to support domestic industries and create jobs by ensuring that federal funds are used to buy goods that are produced in the United States. This policy applies to various sectors, including construction and manufacturing, and is often linked to government contracts. The Buy America provisions require that a certain percentage of materials used in federally funded projects be sourced from American manufacturers. This initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen the U.S. economy and promote local businesses while reducing reliance on foreign imports.
