The Biomanufacturing and Jobs Act of 2025 strengthens the federal government's support for products made from agricultural materials by expanding the USDA's BioPreferred Program. The bill requires federal agencies to annually increase their purchases of biobased products, establishes training for federal procurement staff, and updates federal purchasing systems to better track these purchases. It also creates a cross-departmental Biobased Task Force to coordinate research and marketing, sets standards for measuring biobased content, and cracks down on misleading product labels by defining terms like "biobased plastic" and "renewable chemical." The USDA is authorized to conduct public marketing campaigns and accept private funding to promote these products, with reporting requirements to Congress. The task force must deliver a comprehensive study within three years, making this a multi-year initiative to boost domestic biomanufacturing and rural agricultural markets.
