## Summary

**Ensures competition and government control over AI-related cloud and model procurement at the Department of Defense.** It would set clear definitions, force competitive awards, protect government data rights, and require public reporting on market concentration and exemptions. - Would require the Secretary of Defense to run competitive procurements for cloud computing, data infrastructure, and foundation model solutions. It prioritizes multi-cloud technology and gives the government exclusive rights to access and use all government data. - Sets who must comply by defining key terms. A "covered provider" is any cloud, data infrastructure, or foundation model provider with at least $50 million in DoD contracts in any of the prior five fiscal years. A "foundation model" includes models with about 1 billion parameters or models that could pose serious national-security, economic, public-health, or safety risks. - Requires updates to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to bar vendors from using government-furnished data to train commercial products without authorization and to protect stored government data. Violations can bring fines or contract termination, narrow national-security exemptions must be notified in writing, and the DoD must report to congressional defense committees starting Jan 15, 2027 with annual public summaries for four years.
