# Biggs Introduces Defense Technology Bills

On October 22, 2026, Congresswoman Sheri Biggs introduced three bills addressing risks from Chinese dual-use technology in cellular modules, advanced robotics, and biotechnology used in or relevant to U.S. defense systems. If enacted, the proposals could tighten supply-chain risk assessment and mitigation expectations for defense contractors. The signal identifies no solicitation, contract award, funding amount, or implementation timeline.

- Contractors should review their exposure to Chinese-linked cellular module, robotics, and biotechnology supply chains supporting defense work.
- Procurement and supply-chain teams can assess whether they can identify and document technology origin and control relationships in these areas, in light of the bills’ focus on risk assessment and mitigation.
- The proposals are not enacted requirements; companies should track their legislative progress before treating them as mandatory contract or compliance obligations.
