Waivers Issued by DOE under the Buy American Provisions
This list includes all waivers that have been issued for the Buy American Recovery Act provisions under projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and administered by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE).
All waivers are "blanket" waivers, and are both retrospective and prospective. They cover all procurement past, present, and future.
Grantees who need a product already covered in a waiver must document compliance, consistent with the guidance, but do not need to apply for a new waiver.
When a grantee utilizes an item covered by a waiver in their project, they must inform their Project Officer, who will work with the Contracting Officer to amend the Terms and Conditions of the grant to reflect the waiver. When a sub-recipient utilizes an item covered by a waiver in their project, they must inform the prime grant recipient, such that the prime grant recipient can inform the Project Officer and complete the process above.
