Contractor trade groups protest proposed NDAA regulation on counterfeit electronics - News
July 19, 2013
NEW YORK. The Council of Defense and Space Industry and Professional Services Council Associations said Wednesday that they are suspect of proposed regulations by the Department of Defense (DoD) to remove counterfeit electronics from the military supply chain. A proposed rule issued by the DoD on May 16 would partially implement a provision in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that requires the Pentagon to eliminate counterfeit electronics by shifting liability for replacing such parts to contractors, unless the DoD provides the parts. Trade groups suggest that this will shift too much risk to contractors and prevent the DoD from buying the latest commercial technologies.
