Bill > S1009

This bill, the Homeland Procurement Reform Act (HOPR Act), amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to establish requirements for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to procure certain items related to national security interests for its frontline operational components, such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Transportation Security Administration. The key provisions include requiring at least one-third of funds obligated for the procurement of covered items (e.g., uniforms, body armor, and protective gear) to be for items manufactured in the U.S. by small businesses, and setting quality and supply chain security standards for contractors. The bill also requires a study on the adequacy of uniform allowances for DHS employees and a report on how DHS can further procure items from domestic sources to bolster the domestic supply chain for national security-related items.
