  • Government solutions hub

    Eaton offers a complete line of power and connectivity solutions certified to comply with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for easy addition to GSA Schedules and other government contracts.TAA-compliant products are also ideal for any business or organization seeking IT solutions made in the USA and other free-trade-friendly countries.

For decades, Eaton has been manufacturing products in the United States, designed to be used in a wide range of government applications, including schools, courthouses, libraries and state facilities. 

Like businesses, governmental entities continue to grow more dependent on digital infrastructure. Ensuring that the public services sector has an uninterrupted supply of clean, efficient and reliable power is critical. Providing protection from power failures will help ensure the integrity of vital services and information that the public relies on.

TAA refers to the Trade Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. & 2501-2581), which is intended to foster fair and open international trade. TAA requires that the U.S. Government may acquire only “U.S. – made or designated country end products. This act requires that contractors must certify that each end product meets the applicable requirements. End products are ‘those articles, materials and supplies to be acquired for public use’.” This includes items which have been “substantially transformed” in the United States.

Eaton’s TAA compliant products are assembled in the U.S.A and are approved to be acquired by the United States Government for use. These products are also compliant with GSA Schedules.

Eaton offers over 700 TAA-compliant UPS systems, PDUs, rack enclosures, KVM switches, console servers, surge protectors and cables for easy addition to GSA Schedules and other government contracts.

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act

The policy of Eaton is to incorporate the highest levels of universal accessibility and usability into the design of all of the products it manufactures. Eaton supports federal accessibility legislation such as Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (found at 29 U.S.C.794d); however, Eaton products are exempt from Section 508, according to Section 1194.3 (General Exceptions): " ...products located in spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair, or occasional monitoring of equipment are not required to comply with this part."
