Every year Congress must pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA adjusts DoD budget priorities based on what’s happening around the world and current military needs. Thus, the bill is a guide to the issues that will impact defense contracting in the coming year.

In this episode of Bona Fide Needs, Marne Marotta, Adrienne Jackson, and Sara Linder of Arnold & Porter discuss the status of the pending 2025 NDAA bills in the House and Senate, provisions in the bills that could impact government contractors, and some notable amendments. They also predict where things are headed with each bill over the next few months.
