To expand the contested logistics demonstration and prototyping program to include commercial additive manufacturing facilities in contested logistics environments, and for other purposes.

This bill expands a Defense Department test program to include commercial 3D‑printing facilities. The goal is to make parts quickly and closer to where they’re needed, especially in risky or hard‑to‑reach areas during conflict. It also keeps the program running longer, through December 31, 2030.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The military and private 3D‑printing companies that can produce parts on demand.
• What changes: The program is updated to allow commercial 3D‑printing sites to make and deliver parts near the point of use, speeding repairs and reducing long supply lines.
• When: The program’s end date is extended to December 31, 2030.
