Foreign direct investment CFIUS review
Defense and government contractors face some of the most scrutinized foreign investment reviews in the U.S. regulatory system, with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States operating under expanded FIRRMA authority that now covers minority stakes, real estate near sensitive facilities, and non-controlling investments in critical technology suppliers. The U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security both sit as voting members of CFIUS and have driven mandatory filing requirements for transactions involving TID U.S. businesses. Contractors with classified programs, controlled unclassified information systems, or supply chain dependencies on foreign-owned vendors are the primary targets of mitigation agreements and forced divestitures.
Watch
- Mandatory CFIUS declarations for TID U.S. business transactions: filing deadlines and scope
- DoD facility security clearance continuity requirements when foreign ownership changes
- CFIUS mitigation agreement compliance: security control plans and annual audits
- Foreign ownership, control, or influence determinations under NISPOM for cleared contractors
- Proposed CFIUS fee schedule adjustments affecting transaction timelines and cost planning
