    (a) Policy.--Under section 3(5)(A) of the Export Administration Act 
of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2402(5)(A)), it is the policy of the United 
States to oppose restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or

United States or against any other United States person.
    (b) Prohibition.--(1) Consistent with the policy referred to in 
subsection (a), the Department of Defense may not award a contract for 
an amount in excess of the small purchase threshold (as defined in 
section 4(11) of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 
403(11))) to a foreign entity unless that entity certifies to the 
Secretary of Defense that it does not comply with the secondary Arab 
boycott of Israel.
    (2) In paragraph (1), the term ``foreign entity'' means a foreign 
person, a foreign company, or any other foreign entity.
    (c) Waiver Authority.--The Secretary of Defense may waive the 
prohibition in subsection (b) in specific instances when the Secretary 
determines that the waiver is necessary in the national security 
interests of the United States. Within 15 days after the end of each 
fiscal year, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report identifying 
each contract for which a waiver was granted under this subsection 
during that fiscal year.
    (d) Exceptions.--Subsection (b) does not apply--
        (1) to contracts for consumable supplies, provisions, or 
    services that are intended to be used for the support of United 
    States forces or of allied forces in a foreign country; or
        (2) to contracts pertaining to the use of any equipment, 
    technology, data, or services for intelligence or classified 
    purposes by the United States Government in the interests of 
    national security or to the acquisition or lease of any such 
    equipment, technology, data, or services by the United States 
    Government in the interests of national security.
