BABA Compliance
BABA Compliance
Yaskawa is committed to supporting the Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). We recognize the importance of domestic manufacturing in strengthening the U.S. industrial base and are dedicated to providing products that meet BABA requirements.
The Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act is part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). It requires that federally funded infrastructure projects use domestically produced materials, including manufactured products like variable frequency drives (VFDs). To qualify, products must meet strict thresholds for U.S.-based manufacturing and component sourcing.
These Yaskawa configured drive families are fully BABA compliant when ordered in standard catalog configurations:
- GA800 Configured Drives
- FP605 Configured Drives
- U1000 Configured Drives
- HV600 Configured Drives
- Z1000U Configured Drives
- iQpump605 Configured Drives
They are built in the United States using domestically sourced components and manufacturing processes that align with current BABA compliance criteria. Customer-engineered solutions or modified configurations will need to be evaluated individually to determine BABA compliance.
For detailed information on our BABA-compliant products, please refer to our official certification letter:
While our configured drives are fully BABA compliant, standalone drives are currently evaluated for compliance on a per-request basis. This ensures we meet the unique requirements of each project and maintain accuracy in documentation.

We continue to invest in domestic production capabilities to better serve infrastructure projects across the nation.
