SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A summary for the FAR rule follows. For the
actual revisions and/or amendments made by this FAR case, refer to the
specific subject set forth in the document following this item summary.
FAC 2020-02 amends the FAR as follows:
Reporting of Nonconforming Items to the Government-Industry Data
Exchange Program (FAR Case 2013-002)
This final rule amends the FAR to require contractors and
subcontractors to report to the Government-Industry Data Exchange
Program (GIDEP) certain counterfeit or suspect counterfeit parts and
certain major or critical nonconformances. This change implements
sections 818(c)(4) and (c)(5) of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2012, which require DoD contractors and subcontractors
to report counterfeit or suspect counterfeit electronic parts purchased
by or for DoD to GIDEP. In addition, the FAR Council extended coverage
of the proposed rule by policy to cover other Government agencies,
other types of parts, and other types of nonconformance. In response to
public comments, this final rule has more limited scope than the
proposed rule, exempting contracts and subcontracts for commercial
items and limiting the clause application to acquisitions of items that
require higher level quality standards, critical items, or electronic
parts by or for DoD.
