The Procurement Protection Act of 2025 establishes new regulations regarding state procurement processes in Oklahoma. It prohibits certain entities, specifically state-owned enterprises of foreign adversaries, companies domiciled within foreign adversaries, foreign adversary companies, and federally banned corporations, from bidding on contracts with state agencies or political subdivisions. Companies must certify that they do not fall under these categories when submitting bids. If a company is found to have submitted a false certification, it faces significant penalties, including a civil penalty of $250,000 or twice the contract amount, termination of the contract, and a ban from bidding on state contracts for 60 months.

Additionally, the Act requires bidders to disclose any business operations with foreign adversaries or related entities within the past 24 months. There are exceptions that allow state agencies to contract with ineligible companies if no reasonable alternatives exist, the contract is pre-approved, or if not procuring the goods poses a greater threat to the state. The Act emphasizes transparency and accountability in state procurement, aiming to protect Oklahoma from potential security risks associated with foreign adversaries. An emergency clause is included, allowing the Act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
