You know Johnsyn its a strange scenario. The suppliers don't want to comply with the mandate and have come up with lots of reasons. The DLA having taken out the biggest objection cost still has not solved the problem.

Counterfeit parts enter the supply chain and FAIL costing the US Government millions. All this tosh about only a small fraction of our turnover goes to this part of the mandate is actually pretty lame.

I think the DLA thought that responsible suppliers would do whatever it takes to ensure NO counterfeits enter their system. If they used the DNA on all chips they could guarantee compliance. It would be cheaper for the government to pay the additional cost rather than put Warfighters at risk. Whilst I accept there is a problem with regards to implementation the truth is counterfeit parts enter the system, period. Now who is prepared to guarantee it is not them????

I think the mandate will be rolled out and soon because I agree with you Johnsyn the arguments against are simply not good enough to protect our Warfighters and our people NOW.
