Strengthening Federal Acquisition 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 technology and services provided by entities linked to foreign adversaries. The primary goal is to secure U.S. government information systems and supply chains against national security risks. This measure aims to ensure greater protection of government data and infrastructure from external influence.
Key points
The FASC is empowered to issue mandatory “designated orders” to exclude companies tied to foreign adversaries from federal contracts and remove their products.
The law clarifies definitions of “source of concern” (entities controlled by or affiliated with a foreign adversary's government or military/intelligence).
The National Cyber Director is designated as the Chairperson of the Council, centralizing cybersecurity leadership in federal procurement decisions.
Federal agencies must now provide any requested information to the Council Chairperson to support security risk assessments.
