Summary

Permanently requires the Department of Defense to buy stainless-steel flatware and dinnerware made in the United States. This bill would remove the sunset that limited the domestic sourcing obligation and make that Buy American requirement permanent for those kitchen items. It gives two official short titles, including the FORKS Made in America Permanency Act of 2025. The measure does not provide new funding, create programs, change eligibility, add enforcement steps, or alter definitions or thresholds beyond eliminating the sunset.

Permanent U.S.-made flatware for Defense

This bill would permanently require the Defense Department to buy specified stainless steel flatware and dinnerware from American sources.
