# Senators Seek DoD Pricing Disclosures

U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Grassley asked Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg to explain how the Department of Defense would require detailed cost and pricing disclosures for contracts below $10 million and limit negotiations with firms that withhold the information. The request signals possible changes to DoD pricing-data and negotiation practices, but no implementation timeline, specific solicitation, contract award, or finalized requirement is identified.

- Contractors pursuing DoD work below $10 million may want to assess their ability to provide detailed cost and pricing information if such requirements are adopted.
- Procurement teams should treat the proposal as a potential change, not a current mandate; the signal does not specify implementation details or an effective date.
- DoD contracting professionals may face changes to negotiation practices if the department adopts limits on negotiations with firms that do not provide the requested information.
