HR 2989

The Time to Choose Act of 2025 aims to prevent the U.S. government from contracting with consulting firms that also provide services to certain foreign governments or entities considered high-risk. Specifically, it prohibits federal agencies from awarding contracts to firms that work for China, Russia, countries supporting terrorism, or entities on specific U.S. Department of Commerce watchlists. The bill establishes a process for waivers in national security cases, requiring extensive notification and oversight. It also includes penalties for false information provided during the certification process.
