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

This bill (S 3164) requires the Secretary of Defense to provide Congress with a detailed briefing by March 1, 2026, on increasing domestic purchases of strategic and critical materials. The briefing must identify 10 materials from the National Defense Stockpile that could be sourced more from U.S. suppliers to reduce supply chain risks, recommend specific procurement amounts for the next three years, and share target percentages publicly. It directly affects the Department of Defense (which must prepare the briefing) and Congress (which receives it). The bill focuses on reporting requirements to inform decisions about domestic supply chains, not on mandating new purchases or altering existing procurement rules.
