BABA-Compliant Outdoor Lighting for Federal Infrastructure Projects
Hess manufactures a broad portfolio of architectural outdoor lighting products that meet Build America, Buy America (BABA) standards — giving specifiers and procurement teams confidence on federally funded streetscape, campus, and transportation projects.
WHAT IS BABA?
The Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) governs domestic content requirements for materials sourced using federal financial assistance, as outlined in Executive Order M-24-02 and 2 CFR Part 184. Effective October 2025, a long-standing federal waiver was terminated — BABA compliance is now mandatory for all manufactured products in federally funded infrastructure projects.
