• Materiel that is either in production or currently available shall be purchased from an original manufacturer, aftermarket manufacturer, or other authorized supplier.

• Materiel that is neither in production nor currently available may be purchased from suppliers, including unauthorized suppliers, that meet appropriate counterfeit avoidance criteria documented in industry anti-counterfeit standards. The Contractor shall notify the KO and COR when critical or high-risk materiel is procured from an unauthorized source. The Contractor shall provide this notification before materiel is installed so mitigation actions can be taken.

• The Contractor shall maximize the use of authentic, originally designed and/or qualified parts.

• The Contractor shall assess potential suppliers to minimize the risk of receiving counterfeit parts or materiel.

• The Contractor shall have purchasing procedures which confirm whether a selected supplier is authorized (as defined in SAE AS5553) for each purchase.

• The Contractor shall define minimum inspection and test requirements for parts being procured and shall ensure that in-house, third-party, and/or supplier inspection and test procedures and facilities comply with the requirements of this section. These minimum inspection and test requirements shall specify appropriate test methods to detect potential counterfeit parts and material.

• The Contractor shall require a certificate of conformance (as defined in SAE AS5553) and supply chain traceability for all electronic part purchases.

• The Contractor shall use government or industry services such as Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) and other commercially available services to identify part or supplier quality or authenticity problems.

• The Contractor shall maintain critical or high-risk materiel traceability that enables tracking through the supply chain to the original manufacturer if purchased from an authorized source or to the unauthorized source at a minimum if purchased from an unauthorized source.

(d) The Contractor shall immediately notify the COR of the occurrence of a suspect or confirmed counterfeit part or materiel. Contractor shall notify the COR of all actions taken to identify, contain, and impound all product from the lot, within 7 working days of confirmation of the counterfeit status.

The Contractor shall identify and locate all potential users or hardware items with the suspect part or materiel and contain the product which has this suspect part or materiel, pending confirmation of the part or materiel’s authenticity. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) may be involved at this point to verify authenticity.

Confirmed counterfeit materiel shall be contained and provided to investigative agencies for ongoing investigation or prosecution. The counterfeit product shall not be scrapped or otherwise disposed of without approval from investigative authorities or the Contracting Officer. Confirmed counterfeit product shall be disposed of in a way which would not allow its resale or reuse.

(f) Counterfeit parts are defined in SAE AS5553. Counterfeit parts may be electronic or mechanical in nature.

Counterfeit electronic parts may typically be used parts which have been refurbished and represented as new.

Commonly counterfeited electronic parts include parts such as microcontrollers or specially screened devices, or common parts, which have several pin-compatible versions from multiple manufacturers, such as memory devices and operational amplifiers. Counterfeit mechanical parts are typically improperly made, marked, or treated products. Examples are improper anodization or heat treatments (or falsified data), mismarked parts sold as higher grade steel, or used/fake parts such as valves or circuit breakers.
