Key Points

  • Starting Jan. 1, 2026, federal agencies could not award contracts over $100,000 to companies with more than 10 employees unless the company certifies it is not boycotting Israel.
  • Contracts signed after Jan. 1, 2026 would also require the company to agree not to boycott Israel while the contract is in effect.
  • If an agency learns from a public report or a notice from Congress that a contractor is boycotting Israel, the agency must notify the company and post a public notice on its website.
  • If the company doesn’t stop the boycott within 30 days after being notified, the agency must terminate the contract (unless the company ends the boycott to the agency’s satisfaction).
  • Companies could use the existing federal contract appeals process to challenge decisions tied to this rule.
