Homegrown Defense Act of 2026

This bill would require the Inspector General of the Department of Defense to audit how well the Department follows an existing federal law (section 4862 of title 10, U.S. Code) when it buys food items covered by that law, which deals with buying domestic products. The first audit would be due within 90 days after the bill becomes law, with more audits every three months after that. Within 60 days after each audit ends, the Inspector General would send a report with the results to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.
