AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the Department of Defense from signing contracts to buy goods unless the contractor agrees in writing to give the Department fair and reasonable access to the parts, tools, and information needed to diagnose, maintain, or repair those goods. Access would have to be offered at prices and terms equal to the best ones given to authorized repair providers, and the Department could share these materials with its authorized contractors. Agencies could waive the rule for programs that began before the law took effect if they send Congress's defense committees a justification based on an independent technical risk assessment. The bill also directs the Secretary of Defense to review contracts for changes needed to remove intellectual property limits on repair, and requires a Government Accountability Office report within one year.
