This bill, the Make It in America Act, aims to increase the requirement for American-made content in federal procurement, strengthen waiver provisions, and take other measures to support domestic manufacturing. Key provisions include: - Establishing a technical assistance partnership between the Department of Transportation and the Department of Commerce to support compliance with "Buy America" laws and develop the domestic supply base for infrastructure projects. - Requiring the Office of Management and Budget to issue regulations to standardize and simplify how federal agencies comply with the Buy American Act, including guidelines for waivers, increasing domestic content requirements, and defining "end product manufactured in the United States." - Amending the Buy American Act to mandate that iron and steel products be deemed manufactured in the U.S. only if all manufacturing processes occur domestically. - Establishing a "Made in America Office" within OMB to oversee and enforce compliance with domestic preference statutes across the federal government. - Requiring annual reporting on foreign acquisitions by federal agencies and a review of reciprocal defense procurement agreements. - Directing the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership to help businesses access federal contracting opportunities and enroll in the GSA Advantage! program. The bill seeks to strengthen "Buy American" requirements and support the U.S. manufacturing base in alignment with U.S. international trade obligations.
