Arsenal Workload Sustainment Act
This bill establishes a 5-year pilot program to increase workload at government-owned Army arsenals. It requires the Defense Secretary to give a 20% price preference in contract bids to non-public partners (like defense contractors) that use these arsenals as partners in their bids, plus extra preference for those using the Army's Advanced Manufacturing Center and ensuring 25% of work is done by DoD employees. The program aims to sustain these arsenals' capabilities for cost efficiency and rapid mobilization, directly affecting defense contractors competing for Army contracts. A report on the pilot's progress, including workload data and capital needs, must be submitted to Congress within one year.
