Xometry’s Thomas, a leading industrial sourcing platform, today announced that it has added “Build America, Buy America” as a recognized certification on its popular Thomasnet.com, a multifaceted directory of more than 500,000 suppliers.

The addition of the “Build America, Buy America” (BABA) category allows domestic manufacturers on Thomasnet.com to signal their compliance with the BABA initiative, a significant component of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Under the act, BABA requires federally funded infrastructure projects to source materials, products and construction materials that are produced or manufactured in the United States.

“Our aim is to help major companies seamlessly connect with BABA-compliant suppliers to further strengthen our domestic supply chain and provide continued support to American manufacturers,” said Randy Altschuler, CEO of Xometry, parent company to Thomas. “America’s 600,000 small- and mid-size manufacturers are the backbone of our domestic economy and are deeply ingrained in their communities. Supporting them is a win for the American worker, for our neighbors and for our country.”

“Investing in America means giving our companies the tools they need to Make It In America. That's why we made the Build America, Buy America initiative a cornerstone of the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” said Congressman Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland. “I’m pleased to see the creative ways that Thomas is helping connect BABA-compliant suppliers with the manufacturers who represent the bedrock of our economy. As Chair of the Regional Leadership Council, I am grateful for the cooperation of partners like Thomas and Xometry as we work to implement the transformative laws that we enacted last Congress.”

Suppliers on Thomas can easily self-identify as BABA compliant directly on Thomasnet.com, North America’s largest platform for industrial sourcing. Nearly 500,000 suppliers on the Thomasnet.com platform are based in the United States. More information about the Build America, Buy America act is available here.
