Safe and Smart Federal Purchasing: Assessing National Security Risks

This act requires the federal government to review whether current supplier selection rules, which prioritize the lowest price for technically acceptable bids, pose risks to national security. The goal is to ensure that cost savings do not come at the expense of national security. Citizens can expect the government to make more informed supplier choices, potentially impacting the quality of services and products provided by the state.
Key points
The government will assess if choosing the cheapest bids threatens national security.
A report on this review will be submitted to Congress, increasing government transparency.
