Bill 114 s 1518, also known as the Reinforcing American-Made Products Act of 2015, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of promoting the manufacturing and sale of American-made products. The bill sought to achieve this by requiring federal agencies to give preference to American-made products in their procurement processes.

The bill outlined specific requirements for federal agencies to follow when purchasing goods and services. It required agencies to conduct market research to identify American-made products that meet their needs before making a purchase.

Furthermore, the bill included provisions to increase transparency and accountability in federal procurement processes. It required agencies to report on their compliance with the Buy American Act, which mandates that federal agencies give preference to American-made products in their purchases. The bill also required agencies to publish information on the products they purchase, including whether they are American-made or foreign-made. Overall, the Reinforcing American-Made Products Act of 2015 aimed to support American manufacturers and promote the sale of American-made products. By requiring federal agencies to prioritize American-made products in their procurement processes, the bill sought to boost domestic manufacturing and create jobs in the United States.
