HR-5191 : Still Just a Bill

---

H.R. 5191, introduced in the House of Representatives on September 8, 2025, aims to promote the use of biobased products within the Department of Defense (DoD). The bill directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to:

• Issue guidance for private entities on how to demonstrate that their biobased products meet DoD requirements.
• The Comptroller General of the United States will analyze DoD's requirement development processes to identify and report on any unintentional exclusion of biobased products, recommending ways to reduce such exclusion.

The term "biobased product" is defined as a product manufactured, produced, or developed through the application of living organisms to alter living or non-living materials.
