Bill > S2209

This bill, called the "Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025," requires contractors who provide goods to the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide fair and reasonable access to repair materials, including parts, tools, and information needed to diagnose, maintain, or repair those goods. Specifically, contractors must agree to provide these materials under terms and conditions that are equivalent to those offered to authorized repair providers, such as matching the most favorable prices, delivery methods, and functionality restoration rights. If a manufacturer does not offer repair materials to any authorized repair provider, the materials must be provided at prices and terms determined fair and reasonable by the U.S. Government. The bill defines "parts" as replacement components for digital electronic equipment and "tools" as software, hardware, or other apparatuses used in diagnosis, maintenance, or repair. The Secretary of Defense is also required to review existing contracts to remove intellectual property constraints that limit the DoD's ability to conduct maintenance. Additionally, the bill allows agency heads to request a waiver for existing programs by submitting a technical risk assessment to congressional defense committees. Within one year of enactment, the Comptroller General must submit a report on the implementation of these requirements.
