# DoD Removes WuXi AppTec From 1260H List

The Department of Defense removed WuXi AppTec from its Section 1260H list of Chinese military companies on November 9, 2026, following a federal court’s preliminary injunction and the company’s August court win. The removal reduces designation-related uncertainty for now, but DoD retains the option to relist the company on additional or supplementary grounds. A separate Office of Management and Budget review is due by **December 18, 2026** and could affect whether WuXi AppTec can be used for certain U.S. government contracts or grants; the restriction described in the source does not cover privately funded work.

- Government contractors and grantees should review supplier-screening procedures and determine whether their work falls within the scope of the restrictions being considered.
- Companies using WuXi AppTec should account for the possibility of future relisting and the pending OMB review when assessing supply-chain and bid risks.
- The change concerns government-funded work; the source distinguishes it from privately funded activity.
