DOD Counterfeit Parts Rule Signals Tough Enforcement - Law 360 -By Dietrich Knauth

The DOD's final version of the rule refines its approach in response to contractor criticism, but it does little to ease those larger fears. Although some contractors were hoping for a carveout for commonly sold commercial items, the DOD clarified the regulation to make clear that subcontractors that supply off-the-shelf technology to covered contractors must adhere to the new anti-counterfeiting requirements.

“DOD is very serious about the integrity of the supply chain and they recognize that carving out off the shelf items leaves a gap in their coverage,” said Peter Eyre of Crowell & Moring LLP. "The final rule demonstrates that DOD expects visibility and coverage from top-to-bottom of the supply chain.”
