Starting January 1, 2026, federal agencies cannot award contracts over $100,000 to companies with more than 10 employees that boycott Israel or refuse to certify they are not doing so. Contracts must include a clause prohibiting boycotts of Israel during the contract term. If a company violates this prohibition, the agency must notify it and can terminate the contract 30 days later unless the company ends the boycott. The bill includes a standard appeals process and does not take a position on Palestinian-Israeli final status issues.
This would make compliance with Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) calls a disqualifying factor in federal contracting, affecting companies' business relationships with the U.S. government. The definition of boycott is broad—including actions that discriminate based on nationality or religion—and applies retroactively to companies already signaling participation in boycott movements, making it a significant leverage point over corporate behavior toward Israel.
