​This DMSMS Knowledge Sharing Portal (DKSP) contains an excellent listing of DMSMS related tools at https://www.dau.edu/cop/dmsms/Lists/Tools/AllItems.aspx, as does the separate but aligned DAU Product Support Analytical Tools Database at https://www.dau.edu/tools/t/Product-Support-Analytical-Tools-Database.  During some recent research, I noted several references to the Multifunctional Obsolescence Resolution Environment (MORE), and as a public service, wanted to share them with the community: https://www.dsiac.org/tags/multifunctional-obsolescence-resolution-environment-tool-database-more as well as at https://www.army.mil/article/192061/database_tool_improves_dod_obsolescence and https://www.dsiac.org/resources/news/database-tool-improves-dod-obsolescence.

​DoD, GSA, and NASA are issuing a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require contractors and subcontractors to report to the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program certain counterfeit or suspect counterfeit parts and certain major or critical nonconformances.

GIDEP FAR Rule was published Nov 22, 2019 in the Federal Register and is effective December 23, 2019. Required in: contracts for items containing electronics; contracts that include critical safety items; or contracts with higher level quality assurance. Contract clause requires reporting non-conforming or suspect counterfeit items to GIDEP and screening of the GIDEP database for alerts of reported items to prevent incorporation of those items on the production line.

Full details can be found in the Federal Register at the following link:

I'm providing a couple of link s below to recent articles on recently discovered computer hardware attack.  The article says "The attack by Chinese spies reached almost 30 U.S. companies, including Amazon and Apple, by compromising America's technology supply chain, according to extensive interviews with government and corporate sources."… and …   "Nested on the servers' motherboards, the testers found a tiny microchip, not much bigger than a grain of rice, that wasn't part of the boards' original design. Amazon reported the discovery to U.S. authorities, sending a shudder through the intelligence community. Elemental's servers could be found in Department of Defense data centers, the CIA's drone operations, and the onboard networks of Navy warships."

​Is there any more information available on the AMRDEC's MORE tool posted on Sep 17?  I was wondering if other DOD agencies would be able to utilize this tool for their DMSMS monitoring.  I couldn't find any information on how to get in contact with the program office or how to request access to the tool.

​Can we relocate the DKSP homepage from the subset of DAU to stand alone homepage?  If not, we should relocate to the subset of GIDEP.

We should be the subset of GIDEP for 2 reasons:

1. The DMSMS topic is more closely related to the GIDEP than DAU.

2. With a link to GIDEP, our exposure, participation, and membeship will increase.

I see a number of contracts only referencing DMS but very few using DMSMS.  DMS is used so muchthat there are many people who are unaware of the term (DMSMS). The DMSMS Guidebook (SD-22) 05-16-2017 only mentions DMS a few times in Example 12, 13 and 18. While DMSMS is mentioned several 100 times throughout the guidebook.  But I cannot find a comparison of the terms.  It is my opinion that the use of DMS in many of these contracts does not completely cover the intended work effort.

What is the correct usage?

  1. Is DMS and DMSMS interchangeable terms?
  2. If no, then where is the use of each term appropriate?

With DoD system life cycles longer than technology life cycles, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues are inevitable. DoD cannot afford to be reactive in this area – reactive DMSMS management may lead to schedule delays, decreased readiness and higher cost.                        

To mitigate DMSMS, leadership involvement and adequate resources are needed. The return on investment from these resources can be substantial because proactive actions and application of resources will lengthen the window of opportunity to take corrective action and allow for a larger number of low-cost options (plus associated improvements in cost effectiveness).           

For More information visit the SD-22 Guidebook page in the DAU Tools Catalogue.
