Compliant Power Systems from EnerSys^®

PROTECTING FEDERALLY FUNDED INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS FROM COMPLIANCE RISK

EnerSys provides U.S.-manufactured power systems and battery energy storage solutions, including BABA-eligible products where applicable, designed to support federally and state-funded infrastructure programs such as BEAD broadband expansion, IIJA-funded grid modernization, telecom networks, utilities, and critical energy deployments.

BABA compliance does not end at product selection. Documentation, configuration control, domestic content thresholds, and supply chain traceability can all influence funding eligibility throughout the project lifecycle. EnerSys helps infrastructure owners reduce compliance risk from specification through audit readiness and funding review.

What is the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA)?

The Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), enacted under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), requires that materials, manufactured products, iron, and steel used in federally funded infrastructure projects be produced in the United States, subject to defined domestic content thresholds and applicable waivers.

As federal and state agencies increase audit enforcement, documentation and traceability are becoming as critical as product origin in determining funding eligibility and reimbursement.

Major federal and state infrastructure funding programs, including the BEAD broadband expansion initiative, energy modernization grants, and grid resilience funding programs, require BABA compliance as a condition of award.

EnerSys supports customers operating in regulated, grant-funded environments by providing U.S.-manufactured power systems, enclosures, and battery energy storage solutions, product-level compliance documentation, and support for funding submissions and audits.

Why BABA Compliance Matters to Your Project

PROTECT FEDERAL FUNDING ELIGIBILITY

To qualify for federal and state infrastructure dollars, including BEAD and other IIJA grants, project materials must meet domestic content requirements. Failing to meet BABA requirements can delay reimbursement, trigger compliance reviews, introduce costly redesigns, or disqualify bids outright.

REDUCE PROCUREMENT RISK

BABA compliance does not end at bid submission. Products, configuration changes, documentation, and supply chain traceability may be reviewed or audited by funding authorities throughout the project lifecycle. Gaps in documentation, not just hardware, can jeopardize reimbursement or future awards.

INCREASE CONFIDENCE IN PROJECT EXECUTION

Selecting a power systems partner with established U.S. manufacturing capabilities, formalized documentation protocols, and proven compliance processes reduces operational friction, accelerates procurement review, and strengthens submission credibility.

Key Risks of BABA Non-Compliance:

Delayed reimbursement
Funding clawbacks
Bid disqualification
Audit exposure
Redesign costs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is BABA compliance more than just product origin?
A: While product origin is central, funding eligibility can also depend on documentation, domestic content thresholds, configuration control, and traceability throughout the project lifecycle.

Q: What does “BABA-compliant” mean?
A: It generally refers to products that are manufactured in the U.S. and meet the domestic content requirements set by the Build America, Buy America Act for federally funded projects, including applicable component thresholds and sourcing documentation.

Q: How do I know if a product qualifies for BABA/BEAD funding?
A: Products must meet defined domestic content thresholds, be produced in the United States, and typically require supporting compliance documentation for funding submittals.

Q: Does BABA compliance vary by funding program?
A: Yes. Domestic content thresholds, waiver applicability, and documentation requirements may vary depending on the specific federal or state funding program. EnerSys can help review your program requirements and confirm product-level applicability.

Q: Are all EnerSys products BABA compliant?
A: Eligibility depends on product family, configuration, and program requirements. Contact EnerSys to confirm product-level applicability.

Q: Does EnerSys provide compliance documentation?
A: Yes. Documentation is available for qualifying products to support funding and procurement submissions.

Q: What if a product doesn’t meet BABA requirements?
A: Certain waivers exist under BABA rules, but these vary by program and project. EnerSys can help validate if waiver support or alternative compliant solutions are available.

Q: How do I confirm eligibility for my project?
A: Contact EnerSys with your project details, funding program, and product requirements.

Q: Are EnerSys products eligible for BEAD broadband funding?
A: Eligibility depends on configuration and program-specific requirements. EnerSys can help validate qualification under BEAD domestic content thresholds and documentation requirements.

Q: Do any EnerSys solutions rely on BABA Nonavailability Waivers?
A: Certain funding programs may allow Nonavailability Waivers where domestic sourcing thresholds cannot be met. EnerSys can review your project requirements and confirm applicable product eligibility.
