## Summary

**This bill would create an Energy Non-Procurement List to block foreign-linked companies that threaten U.S. national, energy, or economic security from Department of Energy contracts.** It focuses first on firms tied to critical materials and batteries and sets rules for procurement exclusions and interagency coordination. - Covered companies and related parents or subsidiaries would be ineligible for DOE contracts and for first-tier subcontracts over $250,000 unless DOE determines the goods or services are not procurable from another source. Bidders must certify they are not a covered entity when submitting an offer. - If a contractor or subcontractor is later found to be covered, DOE would terminate the contract unless an exception applies. Contracts entered under an exception require a report within 90 days analyzing alternatives and domestic sourcing steps. - The Secretary of Energy would have to publish the unclassified list within 90 days and update it at least annually. The bill also requires a cross-agency List Overlap Study and a report to Congress within 1 year to harmonize federal lists and procurement bans.
