Smart Pricing Practices Permanence Act

Smart Pricing Practices Permanence Act is a Senate bill introduced by Mr. Sheehy on June 18, 2025. It aims to modify and extend a Department of Defense pilot program designed to accelerate contracting and pricing processes. The bill does this by making targeted changes to Section 890 of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Specifically, it changes the reporting requirements within the pilot program and removes an existing subsection (d) of that section. The title signals a purpose to make the pilot program more permanent, though the text provided does not lay out all elements of permanence beyond the stated amendments. In short, the bill seeks to streamline contracting, reduce unique reporting burdens, and remove a portion of the existing statutory framework governing the pilot.
