Although the E. O. has broad applicability, this Insight focuses exclusively on the Buy American Act (BAA) as applied to federal procurement and discusses selected provisions of the E.O. As may occur during a presidential transition, E. 0. 14005 revoked two executive orders and superseded a third that also promoted Buy American policies and were issued by President Biden's immediate predecessor. Implementing a Waiver Review Process Under the E. 0., a newly formed Made in America Office, located in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and led by the Made in America director (appointed by the OMB director), will be responsible for reviewing agencies' proposed waivers to the BAA and detailed justifications for procurement of products or materials not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States. Presently, there is no centralized process or office for reviewing agencies' waivers to the BAA Generally, the review process as described in Section 4 of E.O. 14005 is to include the following steps: The granting agency submits a proposed waiver and written justification for use of goods, products, or materials that have not been mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States to the Made in America Office. The Made in America Office reviews the proposed waiver and determines whether issuing it would be consistent with applicable law and the policy set forth in section 1 of E.O. 14005. The Made in America director notifies the granting agency of his or her decision in writing. * If the Made in American director determines that issuing the proposed waiver would not be consistent with applicable law and policy, the director is to return the proposed waiver for further consideration.
