The Buy-American preference requirements established within 49 USC § 50101 require that all steel and manufactured goods used in AIP funded projects are produced in the United States.  It also gives the FAA the ability to issue a waiver to the Puerto Rico Ports Authority to use other materials on the AIP funded project.  The FAA requires that these waivers be requested in advance of use of the materials on the AIP funded project.  The Authority may request that the FAA issue a waiver from the Buy American preference requirements if the FAA finds that:
applying the provision is not in the public interest;  the steel or manufactured goods are not available in sufficient quantity or quality in the United States;the cost of components and subcomponents produced in the United States is more than 60 percent of the total components of a facility or equipment, and final assembly has taken place in the United States.  Items that have an FAA standard specification item number is considered the equipment in this case. For construction of a facility, the application of this subsection is determined after bid opening; orapplying this provision would increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.  NATIONAL BUY AMERICAN WAIVERS WEBSITE. The FAA Office maintains a list of equipment that has received waivers from the Buy American preference requirements on the http://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/buyamerican/  website.  Products listed on the Nationwide Buy American Waivers Issued list do not require a project specific Buy American preference requirement waiver from the FAA.BUY AMERICAN CERTIFICATIONThe Agreementor agrees to comply with 49 USC § 50101, which provides that Federal funds may not be obligated unless all steel and manufactured goods used in AIP-funded projects are produced in the United States, unless the FAA has issued a waiver for the product; the product is listed as an Excepted Article, Material or Supply in Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 25.108; or is included in the FAA Nationwide Buy American Waivers Issued list. A bidder or offeror must submit the appropriate Buy America certification (below) with all bids or offers on AIP funded projects. Bids or offers that are not accompanied by a completed Buy America certification must be rejected as nonresponsive.  Type of Certification is based on Type of Project:There are two types of Buy American certifications.  For projects for a facility, the Certificate of Compliance Based on Total Facility (Terminal or Building Project) must be submitted.  For all other projects, the Certificate of Compliance Based on Equipment and Materials Used on the Project (Non-building construction projects such as runway or roadway construction; or equipment acquisition projects) must be submitted.*****
