US-CONGRESS BILLS-119s4994is: Our Nation’s Supply chain for Healthcare has Over Reliance Elsewhere Act; ONSHORE Manufacturing Act

Detected July 21, 2026 · in Government Contracting (SAM/FAR)

The ONSHORE Manufacturing Act (S. 4994) aims to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains for healthcare products by requiring federal contracts to prioritize domestic manufacturing. This will impact small businesses and defense contractors seeking government contracts, particularly those in healthcare supply chains.
