At Sova, we believe creating more inclusive spaces should be simple. That’s why we’re happy to announce that our baby changing stations and adult changing tables are Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) compliant! This milestone is another step in making it easier for architects, contractors and facility teams to confidently specify changing solutions that welcome and support more people.

What is the Build America Buy America Act?

The Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) establishes domestic sourcing requirements for certain infrastructure projects receiving federal financial assistance. Enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the act helps ensure that covered iron, steel, manufactured products and construction materials meet applicable U.S. manufacturing and sourcing standards.

Why Does BABA Matter?

Products that receive a BABA certification support domestic manufacturing, American jobs and U.S. supply chains, while contributing to stronger infrastructure across the country.

For federally funded projects, BABA compliance can also be an important part of the specification and purchasing process. Choosing compliant products helps project teams meet applicable domestic sourcing requirements while investing in solutions manufactured right here in the U.S.

What Does BABA Compliance Mean for Sova Products?

For Sova, BABA compliance reflects our commitment to supporting American manufacturing, jobs and domestic supply chains. It also gives architects, contractors and facility teams greater confidence when specifying Sova changing solutions for federally funded projects.

With products that meet applicable BABA domestic sourcing and manufacturing requirements, project teams can select Sova knowing our solutions are designed to align with the requirements of projects receiving federal assistance—making it easier to bring more inclusive changing accommodations to public spaces.
