What this amendment would do

SA 3729, submitted by Mr. Wicker and Mr. Reed, aims to replace section 874 of bill S. 2296.

The purpose of this amendment is to require the Secretary of Defense to do the following:

  • Track how inflation, supply chain disruptions, and economic fluctuations, such as tariffs, affect all major prime contracts of the Department of Defense.

  • Submit a report to the congressional defense committees by January 30, 2026.

The required report must include:

  • An assessment of how tariffs under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act increased costs for contractors and the Department.

  • An assessment of how those tariffs affected lead times and supply chains for major defense platforms.

  • A summary of agreements under section 4851 of title 10, United States Code, and how those agreements apply to the defense supply chain.
