Summary

The Procurement Protection Act of 2026 makes any company owned, controlled, or domiciled in a listed foreign adversary, or designated as a federally banned corporation, ineligible to bid on state contracts. Agencies must obtain a certification that bidders are not prohibited entities, and false certifications trigger steep civil fines and a 60‑month ban. An exception allows limited procurement when no reasonable alternative exists and the contract is pre‑approved.
