Defense Contracts Must Prioritize US Companies for Professional Services.
This bill requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to prioritize US companies when awarding contracts for professional services, such as engineering, consulting, and legal work. The goal is to support domestic businesses and ensure taxpayer funds spent on defense services remain within the US economy. Waivers are allowed only if national security is at risk or if no US company can fulfill the contract requirements effectively.
Key points
The Department of Defense must establish a preference for US companies in professional services procurement contracts.
Professional services covered include engineering, architecture, financial consulting, and program management.
The preference can be waived if it prevents meeting urgent operational needs or if US companies cannot perform the work timely or cost-effectively.
