Best Price for Our Military Act of 2025
The Best Price for Our Military Act of 2025 would tighten how cost and pricing data are used in DoD contract pricing. It amends 10 U.S.C. 3706(c) to remove a current late-data defense and adds a new requirement: any updates to cost or pricing data submitted after the price agreement (or modification date) must be based on data that is no more than 30 days old. In practical terms, the bill aims to prevent reliance on dated information when adjusting contract prices, increasing government reliance on current market data and potentially triggering price adjustments if data are older than 30 days. The change affects both prime contractors and subcontractors and changes the risk calculus in negotiations and post-agreement price updates by emphasizing timelier data.
