- Description
- Industry Questions Administrative Information Provenance Pilot Program The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) is gathering information for the development of a supply chain solution and interface that will authenticate commercial item offerings in the Federal Government market. The intent is to strengthen the compliance and security of the supply chain and thwart tampering, counterfeiting and grey market offerings. In order to prove this concept, the solution would need to be able to track and authenticate information and communication technology (ICT) products. The ideal solution would be an integrated and portable tool set, through which the Federal Government monitors performance metrics and that allows management through roles and business rules rather than physical control of assets and direct software licensing. GSA is requesting information for a system that tracks all changes in ownership from the time the ICT product is manufactured to the time it is distributed through an authorized supply chain, and ultimately to the point the product is purchased by a consumer and held or resold. This includes, but is not limited to: Recycled components that are sold as new Obsolete parts and components sold as new Unlicensed overproduction of authorized components Test rejects and sub-standard components sold as high-quality Parts marked with falsely elevated reliability or newer date of manufacture Clones and copies, which may be of low quality, or may include hidden functionality Components that are covertly repackaged for unauthorized applications Determination of Trade Act Agreement (TAA) compliance requirements Verify and confirm with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) if offering sold directly or through authorized distributor or reseller Validate OEM transactions by authorized resellers and distribution channels.
