State procurement; creating the Procurement Protection Act of 2026. Effective date.

Summary

The Procurement Protection Act of 2026 prevents Oklahoma state agencies and local governments from awarding contracts to firms owned, controlled, or domiciled in countries the U.S. designates as hostile, as well as companies that are federally banned. Bidders must certify they are not prohibited, and false certifications can trigger a $250,000 civil fine or twice the contract amount, contract termination, and a 60‑month ban from future state work. Exceptions are allowed only when no reasonable alternative exists and with prior approval from the appropriate procurement authority.
