## Summary

**Expand domestic biobased manufacturing and federal procurement.** This bill would strengthen USDA's BioPreferred program, create a Biobased Task Force, and set a new labeling system to grow markets for farm-based bioproducts. - Farmers and rural communities: It directs federal support toward products made from agricultural feedstocks like corn and soy to boost rural manufacturing and farm income. Each biobased job supports about 1.4 additional jobs. - Federal buyers and agencies: It would require more biobased-only contracts, a price-premium framework, lifecycle and efficacy guidance for purchases, training for procurement staff within two years, and public reporting starting December 31, 2025. - Manufacturers and consumers: It creates a formal labeling regime with defined "covered terms" for biobased and bio-attributed products, bans misuses of those labels, adds verification and public reporting, and builds on a program that lists about 15,000 biobased products with roughly 2,600 USDA-labeled items.
