Not Sure If the Material on a Jobsite Meets the “Buy American” Law?




We’ve had a few comments from engineers that they’re unclear about how to tell if all the
material on a given jobsite meets the requirements of the “Buy American” law as it
pertains to publicly-funded projects. They know that if the project is funded by federal
stimulus money, all the materials used on that job must be made in America, but how can they be sure that the cast iron pipe and fittings meet this requirement?  The easiest way to determine compliance with Buy American is to look for the CISPI mark on the pipe or fittings. The distinct CI logo is proof that the material was made in the USA and meets all applicable standards.  Still not sure? Contact the EST Team and we’ll send somebody to the job site to confirm compliance. If we find material that shouldn’t be there, we’ll notify you right away
