Procuring TAA-Compliant SSDs is a challenge - Edge can help

The TAA, or Trade Agreements Act of 1979, is intended to make international trade fairer for most countries and requires that products must be produced or "substantially transformed" either in the United States or a TAA-designated country.

However, two important IT product manufacturing countries are notably excluded from the TAA - China and India - making the procurement of TAA-compliant solid state drives (SSDs) a challenge for U.S. federal government agencies and contractors who need to abide by these regulations. Navigating TAA standards, and the already-complex global supply chain, is difficult for many government agencies.

Edge Electronics streamlines the procurement process by offering TAA-compliant SSDs as an option from industry-leading memory and storage manufacturer, Micron.
