## Summary

**Would require the Department of Defense to buy information and communications technology products only from original equipment manufacturers or authorized resellers.** This change focuses on tightening **supply chain security** for hardware and embedded software and sets clear definitions, waiver rules, and reporting requirements. - Defense personnel and networks: Limits procurement and use of covered ICT products to OEMs or authorized resellers and delays the rule for one year after enactment. This narrows where DoD can source hardware and embedded software. - Manufacturers and resellers: Establishes precise definitions for covered product, original equipment manufacturer, authorized reseller, and related terms. DoD must publish guidance to help vendors become authorized resellers. - Researchers and mission operators: Allows waivers for scientifically valid research and to avoid jeopardizing mission-critical functions. Waivers must include justification, any security mitigations, a mitigation plan to avoid future waivers, and a declaration the seller is not controlled by a foreign adversary. - Congressional oversight: Requires annual unclassified reports to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees for six years on waiver counts, legal authorities used, and steps taken to reduce waivers.

- No new money for these rules: mixed, low. This bill would not authorize new funds to carry out these rules. Defense would need to use existing budgets unless Congress later adds money. This limit would apply starting one year after enactment.
