It’s Made in America Week

July 23-29 is Made in America Week! President Biden issued a proclamation that mentions the MEP program: “During my first week as President, I signed an Executive Order directing agencies to tighten Buy America and Buy American policies, close loopholes, increase coordination, and ensure transparency. We also enacted the biggest change to the Buy American Act in nearly 70 years, now requiring a record 60 percent of the value of products’ components to be American-made, which will reach 75 percent by 2029. We are also using a federally funded national network – the Manufacturing Extension Partnership – to increase the capabilities of small- and medium-sized domestic manufacturers so that they win more Federal contracts. And to help all American businesses find these opportunities, we launched www.MadeinAmerica.gov.”
