house 10/14/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to improve the way infant formula contracts are awarded in the WIC program by ensuring two manufacturers are selected through competitive bidding, promoting better access and potentially lowering costs for families. This change aims to provide more reliable and affordable nutrition for women, infants, and children.

It’s about time we put the needs of families over fat-cat profits. Let’s ensure no child goes hungry because of a rigged bidding system.

Breaking up the contract might prevent monopolies, but if mistakes creep in, both manufacturers lose—and so do infants counting on formula.

Less red tape, more companies fighting for your dollars—that’s how free markets make formula affordable. Government should stop picking winners.

Two suppliers instead of one? That’s how you stop monopolies from feeding our infants overpriced junk. America’s babies deserve better than corporate greed.

Why settle for one supplier when competition drives prices down? This bill finally stops cronyism and lets market forces do their job.

Balancing cost and care is tricky; a secondary manufacturer sounds smart if it truly delivers savings without risking formula shortages.

Two bids, twice the bureaucracy—more government meddling won’t fix the formula crisis, it’ll just slow down delivery to families in need.

More competition could mean better prices, but let’s keep an eye on quality—babies aren’t a testing ground. Two bids may diversify supply, or complicate it.

Finally, a move to break Big Formula’s stranglehold and make nutrition affordable for every baby. Competition means healthier options, not corporate handouts.
