View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to further implement section 818 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012, as modified by section 817 of the NDAA for FY 2015, which requires DoD to issue regulations establishing requirements that DoD and DoD contractors and subcontractors, except in limited circumstances, shall acquire electronic parts from trusted suppliers in order to further address the avoidance of counterfeit electronic parts. On May 6, 2014, DoD published a final rule under DFARS Case 2012-D055, entitled Detection and Avoidance of Counterfeit Electronic Parts (78 FR 26092). That final rule constituted the initial partial implementation of section 818. Dod expects this rule may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.  Revisions to this rule will be reported in future status updates as part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563, completed in August 2011.
