Air Force has suggestions out now (well since October actually) on how to comply with DODI anti-counterfeit. Mentions the SAE standard, which we have a seat on (YEAAHHH) but also the lobbying group of Independent Distributors of Electronics Association :([/quote]

3.8.1.4. Determine critical components that have a global supply chain. Consider using emerging industry standards such as those from the Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) and the Society for Automotive Engineers (SAE) for practices and methods to mitigate risks from counterfeit electronic parts. Consider requiring contractual compliance with the standard adopted by DoD for counterfeit electronics, SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) 5553, Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition, for critical components with a global supply chain.[/quote]
