A bipartisan group of six senators re-introduced the SAMOSA Act, which would strengthen agency oversight of software purchasing and cut down on duplicative licenses.

The bipartisan Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act follows a bill of the same name that passed the House in March.

The proposed legislation replicates the SAMOSA Act, which was proposed in September.

If enacted, SAMOSAA would compel federal agencies to purchase unlimited software contracts and require greater product interoperability among Big Tech companies providing services to government.

Vaccine matching could be greatly aided if providers have access to USPS's address-formatting tool.

The bill would improve contract tracing during the coronavirus pandemic, if included in the next relief package, sponsors say.
