The American Apparel and Footwear Association joined a multi organization letter to congress urging the inclusion of the Homeland Procurement Reform Act – a measure to strengthen supply chain and procurement protocols for critical national security uniforms – in a the final version of a comprehensive trade and competitiveness bill.
Division F, Section 50101 in the House-passed America COMPETES Act, ensures that key components of the Department of Homeland Security can procure critical uniforms and protective equipment developed and manufactured in the United States to execute their security, enforcement, and investigative missions. This bipartisan, bicameral initiative was originally introduced by Senators Shaheen, Moran, Hassan, and Rounds as S.1009, the Homeland Procurement Reform (HOPR) Act. Companion legislation was also introduced as H.R.2915 by House Representatives Correa, Mast, McGovern, Pappas, and Thompson.
