Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Pandemic Supplies Production Act
This bill requires certain actions to manage the supply and distribution of materials needed to respond to the COVID-19 emergency.
Specifically, the President must immediately exercise authorities under the Defense Production Act of 1950 to ensure the supply of necessary materials during the COVID-19 emergency. That act confers upon the President a broad set of authorities to influence domestic industry in order to provide essential materials and goods needed for the national defense.
In addition, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which is responsible for supply activities common to all military departments, must manage requests for and distribution of materials to respond the COVID-19 emergency and future emergencies or disasters. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must reimburse the DLA for costs incurred to undertake these activities. In addition, the DLA must report on the raw materials needed for the mass production of COVID-19 vaccines and related topics.
