Summary
One of the requirements to receive and spend funds from the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program is compliance to Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements.
This session will cover what purchasers of network equipment need to know about these requirements, including answering such questions as:
- What kinds of projects do the BABA requirements apply to?
- What products do the BABA requirements apply to?
- What is the “BEAD Waiver,” and what does it mean?
- How do I verify that the products I purchase are compliant to BABA?
