Defense Production Act Contracts

The Defense Production Act (DPA) is a U.S. law that allows the government to prioritize and allocate contracts for essential materials and services necessary for national defense. Under DPA contracts, the government can direct businesses to produce specific goods, often during emergencies or war, ensuring that military and critical needs are met. These contracts may include financial incentives and protections for companies to encourage rapid production. Overall, the DPA helps ensure that the military receives what it needs promptly, while balancing private business interests with national security requirements.
