HR 5082 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Best Price for Our Military Act of 2025
To amend title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the late cost and pricing data submission defense, and for other purposes.
Summary
The Best Price for Our Military Act of 2025 amends federal procurement law to eliminate a defense contractors can use when submitting cost and pricing data late. Specifically, it eliminates the defense for contractors who submit updates to cost or pricing data after the price agreement date if those updates are based on data more than 30 days old. The bill aims to ensure that the Department of Defense receives current cost and pricing information from contractors. The change applies to both prime contractors and subcontractors in defense contracts.
