The FLASH Act of 2025 would expand the Secretary of Health and Human Services’ purchasing authority for public health and health security work. It would allow purchases of supplies for testing and experiments, and allow follow-on production awards to participants in certain prototype projects. It would also allow the Secretary to select innovative commercial products and services through general solicitations and peer review. Awards over $100 million would require a written determination and congressional notification within 45 days.
The bill could change how the federal government obtains products and supplies for public health research, testing, and health security. It does not describe a direct benefit or service for individuals.
The bill does not specify a total cost or provide funding amounts.
