# Treasury Expands CFIUS Guidance

The U.S. Department of the Treasury is expanding guidance and early-engagement tools through the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) portal so companies can identify potential national-security concerns earlier in the foreign-investment review process. The signals identify no solicitation, contract award, or procurement deadline; the development is relevant to contractors and companies involved in cross-border transactions because early use of the guidance may help surface review issues before a deal reaches the government process and reduce the risk of delays.

- Companies involved in cross-border transactions can use the CFIUS portal’s guidance proactively to identify potential national-security concerns.
- Contractors working with companies involved in CFIUS-reviewed investments should account for possible review-related delays in transaction and business planning.
- This is a review-process development, not a procurement opportunity or a stated new compliance mandate.
