The federal government would be required to buy bulletproof vests for law enforcement and other agencies only from manufacturers that use American-made ballistic fibers in their products. This would affect federal agencies like the FBI and DEA, as well as potentially state and local police departments that receive federal funding or equipment. The requirement aims to support domestic manufacturers of protective materials while ensuring federal law enforcement has access to body armor.
