About this file
The document is a section from the SAMS manual detailing the Steel Products Procurement Act (30 ILCS, 565/4), which is applicable to public agencies in Illinois. The act provides specific guidelines for steel product procurement in public works contracts, emphasizing domestic manufacturing requirements.
The act mandates that steel products used in public works contracts must be manufactured or produced in the United States, with three specific exemptions: contracts under $500, cases where domestic steel products are unavailable in sufficient quantities or within required timeframes, and situations where domestic procurement would increase contract costs by more than 10%. The provision is designed to support domestic steel manufacturing and ensure public agencies prioritize U.S.-produced steel products when feasible.

From the SAMS manual:
Steel Products Procurement Act Section 4 of the Steel Products Procurement Act (30 ILCS, 565/4) provides as follows:
"Each contract for the construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, improvement or maintenance of public works made by a public agency shall contain a provision that steel products used or supplied in the performance of that contract or any subcontract thereto shall be manufactured or produced in the United States.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply:
(1) Where the contract involves an expenditure of less than $500.
(2) Where the executive head of the public agency certifies in writing that (a) the specified products are not manufactured or produced in the United States in sufficient quantities to meet the agency's requirements or cannot be manufactured or produced in the United States within the necessary time in sufficient quantities to meet the agency's requirements, or (b) obtaining the specified products, manufactured or produced in the United States would increase the cost of the contract by more than 10%.
(3) When its application is not in the public interest.”
Please ensure this is followed in your steel procurements.
