Domestic Manufacturing Standards that Loos Meets
Domestic Wire Rope:
Domestic wire rope is defined by the Committee of Domestic Steel Wire Rope and Specialty Cable as wire rope that is stranded and closed in the USA. It is important to remember the requirement allows for some of the materials making up the rope product to be imported from outside of the USA.
100% Domestic/Buy America Act:
The Buy America Act requires 100% of a product to be manufactured in the USA, including the steel mill products. To fit 100% domestic requirements, the melting of the steel, the stranding, and the closing process must be performed within the USA. Typically, Loos sees requests for 100% domestic from the Department of Transportation (DOT) or when federal funds are involved.
Buy American Act:
The Buy American Act outlines that the cost of product supplies manufactured outside of the USA must not exceed 50% of the total price of the final product. Meaning, if various supplies for wire rope are manufactured outside of the US, those costs must be less than 50% of the wire rope’s final price. If steel is melted overseas, the manufacturer’s cost contribution has to exceed 50% of the overall cost in meeting the requirements of the Buy American Act.

If steel is melted overseas, the manufacturer’s cost contribution has to exceed 50% of the overall cost in meeting the requirements of the Buy American Act.
Made in USA:
Made in USA means that “all or virtually all” of a product has been made in America. Not only does this mean the significant parts of the product must be from America, but that the processing and labor going into the product must also be of US origin.

Military Specifications:
Military Specification Standards, or more commonly known as Mil-Spec, are a detailed set of product specifications established by the Department of Defense. All Mil-Spec products have strict requirements for the manufacturing process, materials used, and product performance.
