What it does

The DPA Private-Sector Outreach Act of 2026 would amend the Defense Production Act of 1950 to require the development of a federal toolkit and online one-stop shop within one year of enactment to help private-sector entities—including small businesses—understand and access commercial opportunities under the Act, excluding certain authorities. It would also mandate that federal agencies with delegated DPA authorities create and annually update outreach plans to educate the private sector about these opportunities, and require reporting on such outreach activities. The bill aims to improve transparency and accessibility of DPA-related contracting and funding mechanisms for businesses.
