  3. New DFARS Rule on Counterfeit Electronic Parts
Bill Kobren

If you hadn’t already seen it, wanted to call your attention to Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Publication Notice 20160802 dated August 2, 2016. Entitled “Detection and Avoidance of Counterfeit Electronic Parts-Further Implementation” (DFARS Case 2014-D005), the full text is available in the Federal Register, which summarizes the change as  “DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement a requirement of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, as modified by a section of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, that addresses required sources of electronic parts for defense contractors and subcontractors."

 

For additional information on counterfeit electronic parts detection and avoidance, DAU offers several resources including an ACQuipedia article entitled “Counterfeit Parts” and two continuous learning modules on the subject: CLL 032 - Preventing Counterfeit Parts From Entering the DoD Supply System and CLL 062 - Counterfeit Prevention Awareness.
