Military Supplies: Advanced Manufacturing Plan

It is actively moving through the system, but no future hearings or votes have been scheduled yet. There is no companion bill listed for this proposal at this time.
Legislative Progress
This bill addresses military readiness and supply chains, which usually get support from both parties. It will likely be included in a larger defense spending package later this year.
Key Points
- This bill requires the Defense Department to create a plan for using advanced manufacturing, like 3D printing, to make essential military supplies. The plan must be finished and shared with Congress and military leaders within 180 days.
- A new working group will be formed to find high-tech solutions for parts that are hard to find. They will focus on items that can be produced within two years to make sure the military has the equipment it needs for missions.
- The Defense Logistics Agency will mark specific items that currently have no companies offering to make them. By identifying these items that receive no bids, the military can use new manufacturing methods to fill the gaps and reduce reliance on traditional factories.
