American Glove Act of 2026

This bill sets rules for how certain federal agencies buy nitrile gloves through the AbilityOne Program and related contracts. Gloves bought this way would have to be made only by manufacturers in the United States that are majority-owned and controlled by U.S. persons and not owned, controlled, or significantly influenced by a foreign entity of concern. The contracts would need written supplier agreements with these manufacturers lasting at least two years and including minimum purchase commitments. Agencies would have to certify in writing that each contract complies and take corrective action if it does not. The rules would apply to existing contracts, which could be modified rather than canceled.
