A bill to require a briefing on increasing procurement of strategic and critical materials from sources in the United States.

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees by March 1, 2026. The briefing's primary goal is to detail strategies for increasing the procurement of strategic and critical materials from sources within the United States . Key elements of the briefing include identifying ten specific strategic and critical materials from the National Defense Stockpile where increased domestic procurement could boost production and mitigate national security supply chain vulnerabilities. It must also recommend specific procurement amounts for these materials from U.S. sources over a three-year period following the briefing. Furthermore, the Secretary must provide a list of these materials and target percentages for U.S. procurement, suitable for release to domestic industry, allies, and partners. This list will be made publicly available to foster transparency and encourage domestic sourcing. The briefing will also address any anticipated challenges in achieving these increased domestic procurement goals.
