Bill > HR5855

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to Congress within 180 days of enactment detailing vulnerabilities in the Department of Defense's (DoD) procurement supply chain. The report will specifically examine how relying on single-source suppliers for components creates risks from various threats, including military attacks, terrorism, natural disasters, economic shocks, financial crises, and geopolitical events like embargoes on essential materials. Key elements of the report will include identifying components where a single supplier controls over 50% of the global market, pinpointing areas of the supply chain where it's unclear if a single supplier exists, and providing the Secretary's recommendations for mitigating these identified vulnerabilities. The report can be classified, meaning it may contain sensitive information.
