Made in America Market Research Hub

The Office of Management and Budget’s Made in America Office (MIAO) issued a Request for Information (RFI) to establish a "Made in America Market Research Hub." This initiative supports statutory domestic preference requirements like the Buy American Act and aims to strengthen compliance and transparency in federal procurement and financial assistance programs. The objective is to create a centralized, scalable capability—a standardized, continuously updated dataset and analytic tool—to help federal agencies and grant recipients efficiently identify domestic manufacturers and products. This will reduce duplicative market research, support waiver determinations, and increase federal spending on American-made goods. The RFI outlines a four-phase scope: data identification and gathering, data governance, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) layer for user interface, and reporting/analytics. The MIAO seeks industry input on technical architecture, data sources, security, updates, and licensing models, emphasizing the use of existing, modular, and scalable technology solutions that can integrate with current federal systems. Responses are due by March 25, 2026.

The Office of Management and Budget’s Made in America Office (MIAO) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a “Made in America Market Research Hub.” This RFI seeks to gather information for establishing a centralized, scalable capability to support domestic sourcing determinations across federal procurement and financial assistance programs. The goal is to improve compliance with Made in America laws, increase transparency, and enhance analytical capabilities. The envisioned solution involves a continuously updated dataset and AI-powered analytic capability to identify domestic manufacturers, support waiver reviews, and reduce compliance burdens. The RFI outlines a four-phase scope of effort, including data identification, governance, AI integration, and analytics. MIAO is looking for existing technological solutions that are modular, scalable, and interoperable with federal systems. The RFI requests industry input on technical approaches, data sources, security, updates, and licensing models. Responses are due by April 8, 2026, and will inform future planning decisions.

The Office of Management and Budget’s Made in America Office (MIAO) issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a “Made in America Market Research Hub.” This RFI seeks to gather information from industry on establishing a centralized, scalable capability to support domestic sourcing determinations for federal procurement and financial assistance programs. The goal is to improve compliance, transparency, and analytic capabilities related to Made in America laws by providing a single, trusted, and continuously updated data source for identifying domestic products. The envisioned solution would reduce duplicative market research, enhance the identification of domestic manufacturers, and support waiver review determinations with traceable documentation. The RFI outlines a four-phase scope including data identification and gathering, data governance, an AI layer, and reporting/analytics. MIAO is interested in leveraging existing technology solutions that are modular, scalable, and interoperable with federal systems. The RFI poses questions to industry regarding technology architecture, data sources, security, updates, sustainability, and licensing. Responses are due by April 1, 2026.
