The Qualified Product and Qualified Producer/Manufacturer lists posted on this page​ provide sources of materials and material producers that have been qualified by the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) for use on Maryland State projects. This page is a reference for source of supply approval and does not imply that materials may be used on SHA projects without normal Quality Assurance (QA) testing and procedures.

Each list item was submitted, tested and approved. Approval procedures are posted with each material category. Contact SHA for any additional information.

When a product or producer is approved or updates/edits are made, a new revised copy of the qualified list is posted online. Refer to the date at the bottom-right of the list page for the most recent update.

Please direct any questions concerning each list to the appropriate product or producer manager. See the related material category Product or Producer Qualification Procedure for contact information.

Buy America Requirements for Manufactured Products

Buy America Requirements for Manufactured Products

The FHWA published a Federal Register notice on January 14, 2025, that terminates its General Applicability Waiver for manufactured product. The final rule amends FHWA’s Buy America regulation to terminate FHWA’s general applicability waiver for manufactured products and establishes Buy America requirements for manufactured products with respect to Federal-aid highway projects. The effective date of the final rule was March 20, 2025. The effective dates for phasing in the new requirements for manufactured products are provided below:

October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026: The final assembly requirement will become effective. This means that for Federal-aid projects advertised on October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, the manufactured product final assembly must occur in the United States.

October 1, 2026: The 55 percent requirement will become effective. This means that for Federal-aid projects advertised on or after October 1, 2026, the manufactured product final assembly must occur in the United States and satisfy the 55 percent of the components cost requirement.
