How do grantees verify that a product is indeed manufactured in the United States?
Grantees should include the Buy American requirements in all solicitations, Requests for Proposals (RFPs), agreements and sub-agreements. Recipients should expect contractors and vendors to verify their compliance with the Buy American provisions. To assist grantees in making substantial transformation determinations and documenting compliance with the Buy American provisions, EERE has issued guidance documents on manufactured goods and substantial transformation for financial assistance awards (PDF 122 KB) and compliance with the Recovery Act Buy American provisions (PDF 136 KB).
