IIJA & BABA Compliance Resources | Cooper Lighting Solutions

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) helps communities modernize infrastructure, and lighting plays a key role by reducing energy use, emissions, and improving safety. The Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) requires federally funded infrastructure projects to use domestically produced materials, supporting American manufacturing and jobs.

Cooper Lighting Solutions offers BABA-compliant lighting and controls that support IIJA-funded projects across utilities, DOT, parks, education, and government facilities.
