The product lists on this page provide sources of materials that have been qualified by the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) for use on State projects. This page is a reference for source of supply approval and does not imply that materials may be used on MDOT SHA projects without normal Quality Assurance (QA) testing and procedures.

Each list item was submitted, tested and approved. Approval procedures are posted with each material category. Contact MDOT SHA for any additional information.

When a product is approved or updates/corrections are made, an updated copy of the qualified list is posted online. Refer to the date at the bottom-right of the list for the most recent update.

Please direct any questions concerning each list to the appropriate product manager. See the related material category Product Qualification Procedure for contact information.

B​uild America Buy America

For Federally funded projects advertised after November 10, 2022, certificates of compliance with the Build America, Buy America Act will be required from product manufacturers or producers for all iron, steel, and construction materials.

• A Construction Material, Per BIL/IIJA section 70914, is defined as “An article, material, or supply——that is or consists primarily of non-ferrous metals; plastic and polymer-based products (including polyvinylchloride other than an item of primarily iron or steel; a manufactured product; cement and cementitious materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; or aggregate binding agents or additives composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables); glass (including optic glass); lumber; or drywall.


• Based on BIL/IIJA section 70914, cement and cementitious materials, and aggregate binding agents or additives are excluded from the definition of "construction materials".

Note

Since December 31, 2019, MDOT SHA has been using MASH 2016-compliant devices for new permanent installations and maintenance replacements on National Highway System (NHS) routes. Exceptions may apply when one of the following occurs:

• A MASH 2016-compliant device does not exist to address the situation; or
• A MASH 2016-compliant device exists but does not meet the state DOT’s needs given project or regional conditions; or
• The device is a temporary work zone device that was in use prior to December 31, 2019 and is still within its normal service life.
