According to the manufacture this blog, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of General Services Department (the purchasing department) has a list of steel products that supposedly aren't made in America. Those items are exempt from Pennsylvania's "Buy American" requirement.
The list is long. The steelworkers are asking if you know of products on the list that are actually made in America. If you do, follow the instructions here on how to comment to the state government and keep the product off the exempt list. You have until March 11.
