HUD CPD issues Notice CPD-2025-01 implementation guidance for BABA Buy America Preference (supersedes CPD-2023-12)

HUD CPD published Notice CPD-2025-01 providing updated implementation guidance for BABA’s Buy America Preference for CPD-funded programs and superseding prior CPD guidance. The notice addresses applicability determinations and administrative expectations (e.g., how certain housing/infrastructure activities should be classified for BAP applicability, and related documentation/recordkeeping and waiver processes). Recipients and contractors using CPD funds should apply the updated CPD framework when scoping projects and documenting domestic preference compliance or waiver use.
