Prohibits federal funds from purchasing semiconductor manufacturing equipment from foreign entities of concern.

The Chip Equipment Quality, Usefulness, and Integrity Protection Act of 2025, or Chip EQUIP Act, amends the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. It prohibits federal funds from purchasing certain semiconductor manufacturing equipment from foreign entities of concern or their subsidiaries. The Secretary of Defense may waive this prohibition if the equipment is not available in the U.S. or allied countries, or if it was refurbished by a foreign entity of concern but originally manufactured by another entity.
