Murphy: Database would help U.S. companies compete for federal contracts

U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., wants to make it easier for U.S. manufacturers to find out when federal agencies pick a foreign company to make a part that they say isn’t available domestically.

Murphy has criticized federal agencies, and specifically the Department of Defense, the government’s largest purchaser of goods and services, for skirting policies aimed at giving preference to American suppliers.
