Welded steel pipe and tube must be both manufactured in the United States and produced from steel that is made and melted in the United States in order to satisfy the requirements of the Buy American Provision contained in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
On October 1, 2010, the Federal Acquisition Council ruled that to satisfy the requirements of the Buy American Provision of the ARRA, welded tube and pipe must be manufactured in the United States – which means rolled in the United States from steel that is made and melted in the United States. Welded steel pipe and tube manufactured in the United States but made from steel that was produced using foreign slabs does not qualify under the Buy American Provision of the ARRA.
