Domestic SUPPLY Act of 2025

The Domestic SUPPLY Act of 2025 would establish a federal program to increase domestic production of personal protective equipment (PPE) for use during public health emergencies like infectious disease outbreaks. The Department of Health and Human Services would be required to enter into purchasing agreements with eligible domestic manufacturers, defined as companies that are majority-owned and operated by U.S. citizens and manufacture most of their products domestically, with a requirement to manufacture 100% domestically by 2028.

The bill would also restrict federal procurement of disease-prevention clothing and equipment to domestically-produced items, with limited exceptions. States and localities receiving federal funds would face similar requirements to purchase domestic PPE. Additionally, the bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services to report to Congress on how federal PPE requirements have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic began and what impact those changes had on healthcare workers during 2020 and 2021.

Currently, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to committee for consideration. If enacted, these requirements could increase the cost and availability of PPE during emergencies by building domestic manufacturing capacity, though the practical impact would depend on how the program is implemented and whether sufficient domestic manufacturers can meet demand.
