AI Summary

  • Prohibits federal agencies from awarding contracts to inverted domestic corporations (U.S. companies that reincorporated abroad after May 8, 2014, while maintaining more than 50% ownership by former U.S. shareholders) or joint ventures where such entities hold more than 10% interest

  • Requires contracts exceeding $10,000,000 to include clauses barring prime contractors from awarding first-tier subcontracts worth more than 10% of total contract value to inverted domestic corporations, with violations potentially resulting in contract termination and debarment

  • Defines "significant domestic business activities" as having at least 25% of employees, employee compensation, assets, or income based in the United States, which triggers the prohibition if combined with U.S.-based management and control

  • Provides exemptions for corporations with substantial business activities in their foreign country of incorporation and allows agency heads to waive restrictions for national security or health program administration purposes

  • Applies to both civilian contracts (Title 41) and defense contracts (Title 10), covering task and delivery orders issued after enactment even under pre-existing contracts
