Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
This bill amends the National Quantum Initiative Act to require the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to establish or expand partnerships with public and private entities to accelerate domestic quantum supply chain technologies and reduce supply-chain vulnerabilities. It also directs NIST to identify quantum supply-chain and supply-chain-supporting technologies necessary to maintain United States competitiveness in quantum information science, technology, and engineering.
Role of federal government versus market-driven solutions
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused statutory amendment directing NIST to expand partnerships and identify quantum supply-chain technologies.

The text sets mission language but does not specify funding levels or detailed implementation steps.
Technocratic, limited-scope amendment has plausible bipartisan appeal but lacks funding language and may be folded into larger packages instead of standalone enactment.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused statutory amendment directing NIST to expand partnerships and identify quantum supply-chain technologies. It clearly integrates into the existing statute but provides only high-level mandates without operational detail.
Role of federal government versus market-driven solutions
These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Role of federal government versus market-driven solutions
Likely supportive of federal action to secure domestic quantum supply chains and boost public research partnerships.
Would want stronger guarantees for worker training, equitable access, open research outputs, and civilian research protections from militarization.
Generally favorable to targeted federal coordination to protect supply chains and maintain competitiveness, but cautious about vague scope and implementation.
Will ask for clear metrics, coordination to avoid duplication, and transparency on costs and results.
Mixed view: values securing supply chains and competitiveness for national security, but skeptical of expanding federal industrial policy.
Prefers market-led solutions, private cost-sharing, and strict limits on federal intervention.
