OK SB168

State contracts exceeding $100,000 for construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, improvement, or maintenance of public buildings or public works must require all iron, steel, and aluminum to be manufactured or produced in the United States

"Manufactured or produced in the United States" requires all manufacturing processes and components to be of U.S. origin, though subcomponents may originate elsewhere if the component's manufacturing occurs domestically

Agencies may appeal to the State Purchasing Director for exemptions if requirements conflict with public interest, materials are unavailable domestically in sufficient quantity/quality, or U.S.-made materials increase costs by more than 25%

Intentional violations result in a 5-year ban from bidding on state contracts, with violators having the right to appeal to a court

Effective date is November 1, 2025, with exceptions for reciprocal trade agreements negotiated by the state or federal government
