Occurrences

I am urging this Committee to include my language in the FY2027 NDAA directing the Secretary to prioritize U.S.-owned entities with demonstrated capability in this space, and to require a report on the domestic supply chain for quantum dot materials used in SWIR sensor systems. That report should include a concrete, recommended course of action for establishing sufficient domestic supply to meet projected demand by fiscal year 2030.

Biggs urges adoption of NDAA language that would prioritize U.S.-owned suppliers, mandate a supply-chain report, and move toward domestic supply sufficiency by FY2030.

Biggs calls for NDAA language to prioritize U.S.-owned quantum dot suppliers, mandate a domestic supply-chain report, and plan for sufficient domestic SWIR material supply by FY2030.

Evidence

Rep. Biggs told the House Armed Services Committee on April 15, 2026 that she wanted to talk about "short-wave infrared quantum dot materials - SWIR quantum dots," described them as a foundational input for infrared sensor systems, and said the dominant commercial suppliers are in or tied to China while there is no domestically owned producer at sufficient scale.

Biggs made a concrete committee statement on the supply-chain vulnerability behind the claim, but this is an advocacy step rather than proof of delivery. No official action in the lookback window shows the requested prioritization, report, or domestic supply establishment was completed.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

Biggs made a same-term committee statement identifying the SWIR quantum dot supply-chain vulnerability and urging attention to domestic, U.S.-owned suppliers. However, the record provided does not show Congress or the Department completed the requested prioritization, required a domestic supply-chain report, or established sufficient domestic supply. Because the FY2030 supply target is still in the future and the promise remains pending rather than failed, the outcome is unresolved, with credit for effort.
