American Business for American Companies Act of 2026

This bill prohibits U.S. federal agencies from awarding contracts to "inverted domestic corporations" - foreign companies that have acquired U.S. businesses and now have significant foreign ownership. It applies to civilian and defense contracts exceeding $10 million, requiring contractors to avoid subcontracting with these entities for more than 10% of a contract's value. The bill defines an "inverted domestic corporation" as a foreign entity that acquired a U.S. business and now has more than 50% of its stock held by former U.S. shareholders, or has significant U.S. business operations (at least 25% of employees, compensation, assets, or income in the U.S.). Agencies can waive this rule for national security or health programs but must report such waivers to Congress within 14 days.
