Bill overview
This bill requires the Department of Defense to provide a briefing to Congress on how to increase the purchase of essential materials – known as strategic and critical materials – from American suppliers. The briefing will identify ten specific materials, recommend procurement amounts, and outline potential challenges in boosting domestic production. The list of materials and target procurement percentages will also be made public. This aims to strengthen national security by reducing reliance on foreign sources for these vital resources.
