Do local governments have to follow the Buy American requirements?
Yes, but only for constructoin projects (not purchases), and there are exceptions. The funding agency should provide guidance to you regarding these exceptions. For specifics (e.g. when does the provision apply, what exceptions there are, what reporting is required), ask the funding agency (federal or state).
