Defense Industrial Base Advanced Manufacturing Enhancement Act
To require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to submit a report and implement a plan for advanced manufacturing for certain critical readiness items of supply, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9091, is designed to strengthen the advanced manufacturing capabilities of our defense industrial base. It requires the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to create and submit a report on advanced manufacturing for certain critical items that are essential for military readiness. The bill also mandates the implementation of a plan to improve these manufacturing processes.
The bill would affect the Department of Defense, defense contractors, and potentially the broader manufacturing industry. By enhancing advanced manufacturing, it aims to ensure that critical military supplies are produced more efficiently and effectively, which could ultimately benefit national security.
As of June 2, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. The next steps will include review, potential amendments, and a vote by the committee before it moves forward in the legislative process.
