The Pentagon: Supply Chains Must Be Safe

According to Bob Metzger, a government contract lawyer of Rogers Joseph O'Donnell, states that the Pentagon is putting its technology contractors "under a microscope".  Federal customers have heightened the standards on protecting their networks from supple chain risks.

According to the new statute and rules, federal customers will not have to give an explanation of the denial of parts from any outside source. This statute is in place because the vendors themselves should have a secure standard to purchase within the safest possible supply chain. Metzger claims this will be a problem in the near future in a matter of due process. Vendors and contractors will want to have a second review or documented government reviews. As this will require a high DOD approval, the vendors would have no knowledge to object or seek review.

Although some aerospace contractors have a leg up on other contractors, Metzger states that even though these companies have optimum measures for contracts, some jobs need obsolete products. Contractors then have to go to an outside source, which ups the risk of counterfeit goods or parts that include malicious code.

The Dangers of Component Resale

According to electronicspurchasingstrategies.com, the suit filed against Flextronics by chip manufacturer Xilinx Inc. is a "classic example" of a common practice in the Component world: the resale of excess inventory by OEMS and EMS companies.

Independent distribution and broker market has become one the top channels for component resales. With this being said, the concern is opening the door for high prices and the more pressing matter, counterfeit products. "Bogus parts are often mixed with authentic parts and returned to authorized distributors that take back inventory based on contractual obligations. Sometimes, counterfeits are reintroduced into the supply chain through authorized channels. Most of the time they pass through various channels until they are flagged — often, by an OEM."
