## Summary

**Bars federal agencies from entering contracts with companies that engage in a boycott of Israel.** This bill would require companies to certify they are not participating in such a boycott at contract formation and would phase in compliance starting January 1, 2026. - Companies with more than 10 employees bidding on contracts over $100,000 would have to certify they are not engaging in a boycott of Israel. A finding of violation could lead to contract termination after 30 days unless the company stops the boycott to the agency's satisfaction. - Federal agencies would need to include written notice of the prohibition in each solicitation and publish notice on their website within 30 days when they find a violation. The agency must notify the company before any termination. - Any covered contract entered into after January 1, 2026 must include a prohibition on boycotting Israel during the contract term. The bill applies the appeals process under chapter 71 of title 41, U.S. Code to these contracts. - The bill defines "engaging in a boycott of Israel" to include limiting commercial relations or declaring participation in such actions, and clarifies it does not infringe First Amendment rights or take a position on final status issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
