As a total manufacturer, Gemini Valve has the ability to design and supply ball valves built to support American infrastructure projects while meeting BABA compliance standards. With U.S.-based manufacturing and flexible customization options, Gemini Valve is one of the few ball valve manufacturers capable of supplying BABA compliant products.

Understanding the Requirements for U.S.-Made Components

The BABA Act is a key component of federal efforts to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and infrastructure. Organizations receiving federal funding must adhere to these standards to ensure taxpayer dollars support American industries and labor.

 

BABA Requirements

Iron and Steel

All iron and steel used in federally funded projects must be 100% sourced and manufactured in the U.S.

Manufactured Products

At least 55% of the total cost of components must be U.S.-made.

Construction Materials

Specific items used in construction — such as lumber, glass, drywall and more — must be entirely sourced from U.S. suppliers.

Public Interest Waiver

Used when domestic sourcing is impractical for the broader project goals

Non-Availability Waiver

Applied when certain materials or products are unavailable in the U.S.

Non-Availability Waiver

Applied when certain materials or products are unavailable in the U.S.
