Applying for BEAD: Must-Know BABA Compliance
Briefly

The NTIA's new guidance on BABA compliance for BEAD applications emphasizes the importance of self-certifying U.S. manufactured products and ensuring subrecipients meet specific compliance requirements.
The July guidance mandates that BEAD subrecipients obtain manufacturer certification letters proving product compliance, and maintain detailed records of product origin to fulfill BABA requirements.
While NTIA won't maintain an individual product list, it will provide a list of companies that successfully self-certify products under the BABA waivers.
As the NTIA hasn't published certifications yet, it's crucial for BEAD applicants to stay informed about the self-certification process and prepare adequately for their applications.
