TAA Compliance: Flex Matrix Series

TAA Compliance: Flex Matrix Series

What is TAA?

The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) is a U.S. federal law that requires products purchased by the U.S. government and certain federally funded institutions to be manufactured or substantially transformed in a TAA-designated country. TAA-designated countries include the United States and most U.S. trade partner nations — notably excluding China and several other countries.

TAA compliance is a procurement requirement for:

  • U.S. federal government agencies (GSA schedules, DoD contracts)
  • State and local government agencies using federal funding
  • K–12 schools and universities receiving federal grants (E-Rate, CARES Act, etc.)
  • Healthcare organizations receiving Medicare/Medicaid funding
  • Any entity purchasing under a GSA Schedule contract

FLEX Matrix TAA Compliance Status

The KanexPro FLEX Matrix series — chassis and card SKUs — are TAA compliant. All FLEX Matrix products are manufactured or substantially transformed in TAA-designated countries, making them eligible for U.S. government and federally funded procurement.

Why TAA Matters for AV Procurement

Government and education AV projects frequently require TAA-compliant products. Specifying non-compliant products — even inadvertently — can result in bid disqualification, contract violations, or the need to replace installed equipment. The FLEX Matrix’s TAA compliance allows it to be specified on:

  • GSA Schedule 70 / Schedule IT purchases
  • NASA SEWP contracts
  • DoD and military installations
  • State government cooperative purchasing agreements
  • E-Rate funded school and library AV projects
  • Higher education AV infrastructure funded by federal grants
