## Summary

**This bill would create a strong domestic sourcing requirement** for clothing and textile products bought by federal agencies, requiring items to be grown, reprocessed, reused, or produced in the United States unless a specified exception applies. It would also preserve stricter existing rules like the Department of Defense's Berry Amendment and add new procurement rules and reporting requirements. - Federal agencies would have to buy covered apparel and textile items that meet the U.S. production standard for direct purchases, leases, service contracts, laundry or uniform-management contracts, and commercial item acquisitions unless an authorized exception is used. - U.S. manufacturers and textile workers would face stronger federal preference because every material and component of a covered item must be U.S.-produced. - Contractors supplying uniforms, laundry, or related services would need to source U.S.-made items, with only purchases below the micro-purchase threshold exempt and an anti-splitting rule to limit evasion. - Deployments, disaster responses, evacuations, and agency activities overseas could use the exception that allows procurement outside the United States when the agency head documents the need. - The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council would have to issue implementing regulations within 180 days and agencies must add a standard contract clause for affected solicitations and contracts. - Agencies must report to Congress not later than 2 years after the effective date and then annually for 3 years on total and domestic versus foreign procurement values, numbers and values of availability exceptions, and related implementation details.
