'Bundesweit' (nationwide) is made up of 'Bund' (short for the Federal Republic), the linking -s, and 'weit' (wide/far). So it literally means 'as far as the federation' or 'throughout the whole country'.

'Bundesweit' can be used as an adverb to describe a verb. But it can also stand before a noun like an adjective.

The ending '-weit' is very productive and is used to indicate an area of validity or scope. Other common examples are 'europaweit' (Europe-wide), 'weltweit' (worldwide), or 'landesweit' (statewide/nationwide).
