Welcome to the DMSMS Knowledge Sharing Community Homepage !

The Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Knowledge Sharing Portal (DKSP) is focused on being a non-biased one-stop provider of DMSMS related information, resources and material to empower the Department of Defense (DoD) community, both Organic and Industrial, to implement best practices for monitoring, tracking, resolving, and performing analytical logistic and engineering analysis related to obsolescence impacts. Utilization of the DKSP as a resource facilitates optimal resolution, test, parts management, design, upgrade and redesign methodologies, thereby minimizing detrimental weapons systems readiness resulting from DMSMS and obsolescence impacts.

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:

The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies

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."
