2026-11505, DoD Assistance to Non-Government, Entertainment-Oriented Media Productions
The Department of Defense is updating its rules to stop helping movies, TV shows, games, and documentaries that censor their content to please the Chinese government. Starting July 9, 2026, producers must follow new steps to prove their projects don’t bow to these censorship demands if they want DoD support. This change affects entertainment creators and aims to keep U.S. projects free and fair without foreign influence.
2026-09067, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Mitigating Risks Related to Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (DFARS Case 2021-D011)
The Department of Defense is updating rules to make sure companies working with them reveal if they’re owned or controlled by foreign folks. This helps keep our defense projects safe from hidden foreign influence. If you’re a contractor or subcontractor, get ready to share ownership info by July 6, 2026, or risk delays in your contracts.
2026-09038, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (DFARS Case 2024-D021)
Starting May 7, 2026, the Department of Defense won’t make most new defense contractors share their greenhouse gas emissions unless it’s really needed for the contract. This change helps nontraditional contractors avoid extra paperwork, but DoD can still ask for info if it’s directly tied to the job. It’s a smart move to keep things fair and focused without slowing down important defense work.
