Sponsored By: Representative Perez, Marie Gluesenkamp [D-WA-3]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would require DoD contractors to give the Department fair and reasonable access to repair materials, including parts, tools, and information used to diagnose, maintain, and repair equipment.

Show full summary
  • Service members and maintenance teams: Would get access to the parts, tools, and diagnostic software that manufacturers or authorized repair providers use to fix and restore equipment.
  • Manufacturers and contractors: Would need to offer those parts, tools, and repair information on terms at least as favorable as they give authorized repair providers, including comparable prices and delivery. If a manufacturer does not offer a part or tool to any repair provider, the government could set fair terms.
  • Legacy programs and agency flexibility: Agency heads could waive the requirement for programs begun before enactment after sending congressional defense committees an independent technical risk assessment and a written justification that addresses likely effects on cost, schedule, and technical performance.
  • Oversight and IP fixes: Would require a Comptroller General report within 1 year on implementation and a Defense Department review to identify contract changes needed to remove intellectual property limits on maintenance access.

New repair access rules for defense contractors

Contractors who sell goods to the Department of Defense would need to agree in writing to give DoD fair access to repair parts, tools, and repair information used by the maker or its authorized repair shops. Fair access would mean the same best prices and terms offered to authorized repair providers, including discounts and delivery; if none are offered, the government would set fair terms. The Secretary of Defense would review contracts to find and fix intellectual property limits that block DoD maintenance or repair access. For programs that started before enactment, an agency could waive this rule only after sending Congress an independent risk report on costs, schedule, and technical performance. The Comptroller General would report within 1 year on how DoD is carrying this out.
