Ensure Project Compliance with Our Domestically Produced Castings
Bass & Hays is dedicated to providing high-quality, American-made castings and fabricated steel products that meet the rigorous American Iron and Steel (AIS) provision. For projects funded by specific federal programs, ensuring compliance is not just a preference—it’s a requirement. We proudly manufacture our products in the USA, helping you meet these standards with confidence and supporting domestic industry.
Understanding the American Iron and Steel (AIS) Provision
The AIS provision requires that all iron and steel products used in projects funded by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) or the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) be produced in the United States. This means that all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting and pouring to the final finishing, must occur domestically. The goal of this provision is to support American manufacturing and ensure that federal funds are reinvested in the nation’s economy.
Why AIS Compliance is Crucial for Your Project
Using AIS-compliant products is essential for any project receiving funds from EPA State Revolving Fund programs. Failure to comply can result in significant consequences, including project delays, loss of funding, or the need for costly replacements. By choosing Bass & Hays, you eliminate these risks. Our compliant products ensure your project proceeds smoothly and meets all federal procurement regulations.
