The process is based on statute and regulation. The process includes design, engineering, construction, testing, deployment, sustainment, and disposal of items purchased from a contractor. This product provides an overview of selected acquisition-related provisions in the enacted, House-passed and Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC)-reported versions of a National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 (NDAA, P.L. 118-159, H.R. 8070 and S. 4638). For more information on DOD contractors, see CRS In Focus IF10600, Defense Primer: Department ofDefense Contractors, by Alexandra G. Neenan. Legislative Proposals Congress may include provisions related to the DAS or individual acquisition programs in multiple titles in an NDAA. In past years, a recurring NDAA title (i.e., Title VIII of Division A) typically addresses acquisition policy, acquisition management, and related matters. The FY2025 House-passed and SASC- reported NDAA versions both include such a title. Congress has used the NDAA to establish or disestablish, amend, or direct study of, elements of and processes related to defense acquisitions. The House-passed and SASC-reported versions of an FY2025 NDAA include multiple proposals pertaining to acquisition policy, including proposals related to the DAS, defense contract pricing policy, and mitigating foreign influence in DOD contracting. Table 1 below summarizes selected provisions from H.R. 8070 and S. 4368, and P.L. 118-159.
