Notice of Buy America Waiver for Turnout Switch Components for Detroit People Mover
Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration — observed across 2 documents over 66 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.
In plain English
The government is allowing the Detroit People Mover to use foreign-made track switches instead of American-made ones because domestic suppliers can't make them. If you supply rail equipment to transit agencies, review these waivers before bidding—they signal when the government will accept cheaper foreign parts on federal contracts.
