Bill > HR5155

This bill, known as the "Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025," requires Department of Defense (DoD) contractors to provide fair and reasonable access to repair materials, including parts, tools, and information needed to diagnose, maintain, or repair goods. Specifically, contractors must agree to provide these materials at prices and terms equivalent to those offered to authorized repair providers, ensuring the DoD can effectively maintain and repair equipment. The bill defines "parts" as replacement components and "tools" as software programs or hardware used for equipment maintenance. The legislation allows agency heads to waive the requirement for existing programs if they submit a detailed technical risk assessment to congressional defense committees. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary of Defense review existing contracts to remove intellectual property constraints that might limit the DoD's repair capabilities. Within one year of enactment, the Comptroller General must submit a report to congressional defense committees detailing the implementation and compliance with this new requirement. The overall goal is to improve the DoD's ability to maintain and repair its equipment by ensuring access to necessary repair resources.
