Text
(a) In general Not later than 90 days after December 18, 2025, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with such other heads of elements of the intelligence community as the Director considers appropriate, shall establish a policy to ensure that elements of the intelligence community that procure products made using synthetic DNA or RNA from domestic sources do not contract with Chinese biotechnology suppliers or Chinese biotechnology supply chain intermediaries that are determined by the Director to pose a security or supply chain threat to the United States.
(b) Elements The policy required by subsection (a) shall provide that an element of the intelligence community may not—
(1) procure or obtain any product made using synthetic DNA or RNA unless—

(B) all significant processing of the product occurs in the United States; and
(C) all or nearly all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States or an allied nation; or
(2) contract with any Chinese biotechnology supplier or Chinese biotechnology supply chain intermediary that is determined by the Director to pose a security or supply chain threat to the United States.
(c) Waiver As part of the policy required by subsection (a), the Director of National Intelligence may establish a waiver process for the heads of the elements of the intelligence community under which the head of the relevant element may waive the prohibition under subsection (b).
