SECTION 1. Review of preference for domestic suppliers.

(a) Sense of Congress.—It is the Sense of Congress that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (referred to in this section as “NASA”) should, to the maximum extent practicable and with due consideration of foreign policy goals and obligations under Federal law—

(2) ensure compliance with the Federal acquisition regulations, including subcontract flow-down provisions.

(b) Review.—

(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator of NASA shall undertake a comprehensive review of the domestic supplier preferences of NASA and the obligations of NASA under the Federal acquisition regulations to ensure compliance, particularly with respect to Federal acquisition regulations provisions that apply to foreign-based subcontractors.

(2) ELEMENTS.—The review under paragraph (1) shall include—

(A) an assessment as to whether NASA has provided funding for infrastructure of a foreign-owned company or State-sponsored entity in recent years; and

(B) a review of any impact such funding has had on domestic service providers.

(c) Report.—The Administrator of NASA shall submit to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives a report on the results of the review.
