Fabulous find, Cat! Nice to see DLA themselves pumping APDN on radio, etc. Love this part of his interview:
will extend to microcircuits "and probably follow on commodities."

The August 3 notification to contractors covered parts which are classed using the DLA code FSC 5962. Other classes of DLA commodities are also suspected of harboring counterfeits.


The four major DLA initiatives noted by the Vice Admiral were:
1. Product testing

2. Only buying from qualified, reputable manufacturers

3. Software system that detects anomalies (address, buying
patterns, to rapid delivery time, etc.) and flags human intervention

4. DNA marking of microcircuits and follow-on commodities

Meanwhile, later in September, the Defense Department is expected to revise the procurement guidelines for defense contractors enforcing new stringent requirements aimed at monitoring and eliminating counterfeit parts from the military supply chain.
