       At the end of subtitle A of title VIII, add the following:

     SEC. 811. OUTSOURCING PREVENTION.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
     ``Defending American Jobs Act''.
       (b) Eligibility for Contract Award.--The Secretary of 
     Defense may not enter into or renew a contract for the 
     procurement of property or services unless the contractor 
     certifies that, during the previous 5 years, the contractor 
     has not outsourced a domestic operation or, in the case of an 
     operation so outsourced, the contractor certifies that the 
     operation has moved back to the United States.
       (c) Annual Certification.--Beginning on the date that is 
     one year after a contractor enters into a contract described 
     under subsection (b), and annually thereafter for the 
     duration of the contract, the contractor shall certify 
     whether it has outsourced a domestic operation since entering 
     into the contract.
       (d) Outsourcing Defined.--In this section, the term 
     ``outsourcing'', with respect to a domestic operation, means 
     a plant closing or mass layoff (as described in section 2(a) 
     of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (29 
     U.S.C. 2101(a)) in which the employment loss (excluding any 
     part-time employees) for positions which will be moved to a 
     country outside of the United States exceeds 50 employees.
