The go-to commercial waiver desk
The specialist desk for Made in America, Buy America, and BABA waiver listings.
Flagcup is the definitive commercial monitor for official waiver data — the place domestic manufacturers, primes, cities, and DOTs come when they need this type of listing the same day it posts. We surface Made in America and FHWA notices. We do not invent projects.
Educational monitoring product. Not legal advice. Not an official government site, and not affiliated with MadeInAmerica.gov, FHWA, or any agency.
Go-to monitor
The desk people come to for this data
Flagcup is built as the specialist commercial desk for Made in America, Buy America, and BABA waiver listings — a paid monitoring product, not a regulator and not a government portal.
Official listings only
We surface notices. We do not invent them.
Every desk note points back to an official Made in America or FHWA listing: agency, item, proposed versus approved versus denied, dates, and the project or recipient if the notice names one.
Who it is for
Mills, primes, cities, and DOTs
Built for domestic manufacturers, primes, cities, and state DOTs who need official waiver signals fast — in time to comment, supply, or bid, not after the window closes.

Why desks watch waivers
A posted waiver is a signal that a federally funded buyer could not source steel, iron, a manufactured product, or a construction material in the United States. If your mill, fabricator, or distributor can make that item, the comment window is the chance to keep the order domestic. If you are a city, DOT, or prime, the same notice tells you what just became legal to buy foreign — and what your competitors will bid.
What the desk note includes
- Agency and product or item
- Waiver type: proposed, approved, or denied (and open for comment)
- Posted date and comment deadline when the notice has one
- Project or recipient if the listing names it
- A link to the official Made in America or FHWA notice
