An Act amending Title 62 (Procurement) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to Commonwealth Procurement Code, further providing for definitions and providing for prioritization of American-made supplies.

HB 897 requires Pennsylvania state agencies to prioritize purchasing "American-made" supplies, defined as goods assembled within the United States. The bill adds this definition to procurement rules and mandates agencies to incorporate prioritization into their buying policies. If an agency determines a supply isn’t American-made or unavailable in sufficient quantities, it must publish the decision in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, allowing 30 days for objections with evidence. Affirmed determinations exempt specific supplies from the prioritization requirement.
