Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025

H.R. 2069, the Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025, would amend the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 to require that "other transaction agreements" — a category of federal contracting instruments not always captured by standard procurement reporting — be automatically transmitted to USAspending.gov and displayed in a centralized view within three years of enactment. It also requires an annual public report on federal spending that has not been posted to the site, including reasons such as national security classification, legislative/judicial branch awards, or sub-awards below a primary threshold. Additional provisions tighten inspector general reporting deadlines, require agencies to ensure the accuracy of posted spending data, and direct GAO to recommend updates to a related federal acquisition regulation clause.

The bill primarily affects federal agencies that enter into other transaction agreements, the Treasury Department and Office of Management and Budget (which must implement the new reporting and data-quality requirements), and agency inspectors general. Indirectly, it affects the public and oversight bodies by expanding what federal spending data is disclosed on USAspending.gov.

Introduced March 11, 2025 by Rep. Barry Moore, the bill has now passed both the House and Senate — the Senate passed it without amendment by unanimous consent on August 7, 2026. It next goes to the President, who may sign it into law or veto it.
