Non-Compliant Materials Put Your Entire BEAD Project at Risk

You secured BEAD funding to bring high-speed internet to your community. Now you face a harsh reality: every fiber handhole, fiber vault, and traffic rated pull box must meet strict Build America, Buy America requirements. BEAD participants must document that products meet the 55% domestic content requirement before installation. Not after. Before. One non-compliant underground enclosure discovered during an audit can halt construction, trigger penalties, and jeopardize your entire grant.

The Only Underground Enclosure Supplier Built from the Ground Up for Federal Compliance

NewBasis doesn't retrofit compliance onto foreign-made products. We engineer, manufacture, and quality-test every fiber handhole, fiber vault, and traffic rated pull box entirely within U.S. borders—a decision we made decades before BEAD existed.

Our approach centers on three principles that directly address the compliance challenges BEAD recipients face:

Documentation-First Manufacturing

Every product ships with full traceability to our Riverside, California and Lebanon, Tennessee facilities. When you need a certified letter of BABA compliance for your fiber optic handholes or underground utility vaults, we provide it upon request—no delays, no uncertainty, no hoping your supplier can prove what they claim.

Material Flexibility by Design

Every product ships with full traceability to our Riverside, California and Lebanon, Tennessee facilities. When you need a certified letter of BABA compliance for your fiber optic handholes or underground utility vaults, we provide it upon request—no delays, no uncertainty, no hoping your supplier can prove what they claim.

Quality Assurance Beyond the Sample

Most manufacturers test one product and call it compliant. NewBasis holds UL Listing (BTAT.R26461), which means UL conducts quarterly audits of our manufacturing facilities, quality control programs, and production lines. Every handhole enclosure and fiber optic vault you receive meets the same standard as the one we tested—not just the prototype.
