A bill to impose notification and reporting requirements in connection with grants of waivers of the limitation on certain procurements of the Department of Defense that is known as the Berry amendment, and for other purposes.

Summary

Directs the Secretary of Defense to report annually to Congress on waivers from the Buy American limitations for goods or services procured by or for the Department of Defense, as set forth under the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1993, that were granted for procurements made by the Defense Logistics Agency for the military departments. Requires, at least 14 days before granting each waiver, that the Secretary notify the Secretary of the military department concerned of the determination to waive such limitations.

Requires the Secretary to establish a system for: (1) monitoring the granting of such waivers; and (2) recording the waivers and the reasons therefor.
