Zaniboni Lighting proudly offers a wide range of luminaires manufactured here in the USA. The majority of Zaniboni Lighting’s luminaires meet the BAA’s two-tiered test: 1) The article must be manufactured in the United States. 2) Cost of domestic components must exceed 50% of the cost of all the components. Moreover, in accordance with 41 USC 431 this component test of the Buy American Act has been waived for acquisitions of Commercially Available Off the Shelf (COTS) items.
Below is an example of a breakdown of the BAA requirements achieved with the Bongo series, one of many: Bongo 4O (S4 BON4O-13-40-B2C-WS-ZL1D) Details: 56% US manufactured components; 34% Commercially Available Off the Shelf (COTS) components*; 10% Imported components.
Architecture and design communities are specifying more American produced product and material as the benefits become increasingly clearer.Specifying American-made contributes directly to the US economy, allows us to maintain Zaniboni Lighting’s high quality standards, is more environmentally responsible, and allows for quicker and more cost-effective deliveries. Below are a few examples: Powder coating: We have invested in the best, most eco-friendly powder coating oven available on the market. No disposables are used; no solvents or chemical pollutants. Electronic Assembly: Our innovative, static-free and fully equipped electric assembly facility delivers products with a failure rate below .02%. Packaging & Shipping: Utilizing eco-friendly and bleach-free boxes, our products are expertly packaged for safe and secure shipping.
Please be in touch with your local representative when confirming what products are in accordance with Buy American Act.
*Our main components (LED drivers and LED modules) are covered as COTS items defined as “Commercially available off-the-shelf item means any item or supply (including construction material) that is (i) A commercial item (ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and (iii) Offered to the Government under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace.” FAR2 Subpart 2.101
These component products are therefore waived as they are all available as COTS items, sold in substantial quantities without modification in the same form in which they are sold in the marketplace.
