# House Advances $1.15T FY2027 NDAA

The House passed its version of the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act in July 2026, proposing approximately $1.15 trillion in defense spending. The bill would tighten restrictions on China-linked technology and materials, expand Taiwan support and Indo-Pacific security planning, and includes proposed Right to Repair provisions that could affect access to sensitive defense technical data. Senate consideration and reconciliation remain pending, so these provisions are not final. A reported Pentagon investigation into F-35 components reaching the Chinese government has brought supply-chain controls and technical-data safeguards into focus.

- Contractors should assess exposure to proposed sourcing restrictions involving China-linked technology and materials, including critical minerals, AI chips, and shipbuilding inputs; the final requirements may change during Senate negotiations.
- The House version proposes up to **US$1 billion** for the Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative. Companies supporting defense assistance and Indo-Pacific operations can assess relevant capabilities against the proposed funding priorities, while recognizing that authorization is not a contract award.
- Companies supporting defense programs should review controls on sensitive technical information and supply-chain access in light of scrutiny over the proposed Right to Repair provisions and reported F-35 component concerns.
- The Senate version reportedly includes a pilot to restart U.S. antimony and copper production. Suppliers in those materials markets can assess potential alignment with the proposal, which remains subject to final NDAA negotiations.
