Strengthening Federal Supply Chain Security Against Foreign Adversary Threats.
This Act strengthens the Federal Acquisition Security Council (FASC), granting it enhanced authority to identify and mandate the exclusion or removal of risky technology and services originating from foreign adversaries from federal systems. It introduces mandatory exclusion orders for sources deemed highly dangerous, aiming to protect critical government infrastructure and federal data. While primarily affecting government agencies, these changes indirectly improve the security of citizens' personal information held by those agencies.
Key points
Mandatory exclusion or removal orders for companies and products designated as significant national security threats ("covered sources of concern").
The National Cyber Director is designated as the new Chairperson of the Federal Acquisition Security Council (FASC).
Establishment of a dedicated FASC Program Office to provide support and expertise in information technology supply chain security.
