SUPPLIES Act

This bill, titled the SUPPLIES Act , mandates that the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) establish clear procedures for the disposition of residual inventory . These procedures must be developed within 60 days of the Act's enactment and specifically address unused supplies or commodities remaining after the termination or completion of a program or project. A primary objective of these procedures is to prioritize preventing the diversion, destruction, or expiration of such supplies without being utilized. For transparency, both agencies are required to publish these established procedures on their respective publicly available websites. The bill broadly defines "commodity" to encompass various perishable and nonperishable items, including medicine, vaccines, and food, procured for foreign assistance.
