Best Price for Our Military Act of 2025

This bill changes how the Pentagon checks prices on contracts. It removes a loophole that let contractors defend themselves by saying they submitted cost or pricing data late. It also adds a rule about “freshness” of any updates: if a contractor sends updated cost or pricing data after the price is set, that update can’t be based on data more than 30 days old. The goal is to help the government get fair, accurate prices for military goods and services.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Defense contractors and subcontractors working with the Department of Defense, and the government officials who review their pricing.
• What changes: The “late submission” defense is removed, and any post-agreement cost/pricing updates must use data no older than 30 days.
• Why it matters: It aims to prevent overcharging and ensure the military pays a fair price, protecting taxpayer dollars.
