Public procurement localisation

The U.S. Department of Transportation made a grant of $14 million in Fiscal Year 2013 under the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program to replace aging timber trestle railway bridges that have exceeded their 75-year service life, supporting intercity, commuter and freight rail services. The TIGER program was originally established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, Public Law 111-5). Grants under this program are subject to Buy America rules, including those set by section 1605 of the ARRA.



The HS codes monitored by the OECD Steel Committee are used to approximate the iron and steel products procured for this project.
