The Military Installation Retail Security Act of 2025 prohibits the Department of Defense from allowing retailers controlled by foreign adversaries to operate on U.S. military installations. The bill defines "controlled by a covered nation" as retailers organized in those countries, owned at least 20 percent by a covered nation, or subject to foreign government control. Within 180 days of enactment, the Pentagon must review all current retail concessions agreements on domestic military bases and terminate any involving covered retailers within one year. Additionally, any new or renewed retail contracts with foreign-controlled companies are blocked unless the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States approves them after a national security investigation. The Secretary of Defense can waive restrictions only if the retailer provides vital goods or services with no alternatives and adequate security measures are in place—and any such waiver must be reported to Congress within 30 days.
