Defense Industrial Base Advanced Manufacturing Enhancement Act

This bill changes a section of the 2026 defense authorization law about advanced manufacturing for critical military supply items. Within 180 days, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment would have to send the existing advanced manufacturing plan to a defense industry collaborative forum, the Defense Logistics Agency, and the congressional defense committees. Members of the forum would then form a working group to develop or identify advanced manufacturing solutions to increase production of the listed critical supply items within 24 months. Within 60 days of receiving the plan, the Defense Logistics Agency would have to mark those critical items on its list of solicitations that received no bids.
