The Defense Department is proposing a change to its acquisition rules to require that most U.S. flags bought with federal money be made in the United States. This update implements laws passed by Congress in recent National Defense Authorization Acts.
Why it matters: This is mostly an administrative update to align defense buying rules with recent laws passed by Congress. For most people, there is no impact. The main effect is on government contractors who supply flags to the military or its support agencies, who will now need to ensure their products meet domestic sourcing requirements for purchases over $10,000.
