Domestic SUPPLY Act of 2025
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill directs HHS, working with ASPR, CDC, Defense, and Homeland Security, to establish a domestic manufacturing partnership program for qualified personal protective equipment used in public health emergencies. The program uses contractual purchasing agreements with eligible domestic manufacturers to guarantee available supplies and manufacturing lines. The bill also bars federal, State, and local agencies from using federal funds to buy infectious-disease protective clothing or equipment made outside the United States, subject to Buy American-style exceptions and written justifications, and requires HHS and OSHA to report to Congress on PPE requirement changes since COVID-19 and their effects on physicians and other frontline medical professionals in 2020 and 2021.
Who Benefits and How
Domestic PPE manufacturers, healthcare workers, physicians, emergency preparedness planners, and patients benefit from a more reliable U.S. manufacturing base and purchasing commitments for masks, respirators, gowns, gloves, and other protective equipment used during public health emergencies. Domestic suppliers can gain contract opportunities and manufacturing-line stability.
Who Bears the Burden and How
HHS, ASPR, CDC, Defense, Homeland Security, federal procurement officials, State procurement officials, local procurement officials, and OSHA staff must create partnership rules, negotiate purchasing agreements, enforce domestic sourcing restrictions, document exceptions, and prepare the frontline worker safety report. Foreign PPE manufacturers and agencies that rely on foreign-made protective equipment may face reduced access to federally funded procurement.
Key Provisions
- Establishes a domestic manufacturing partnership program for qualified PPE needed in public health emergencies.
- Requires contractual purchasing agreements with eligible domestic PPE manufacturers within one year.
- Requires agreements to guarantee supplies and manufacturing lines for public health emergency response.
