MITIGATING SUPPLY CHAIN RISK [OCT 2023]

The Department of Commerce (DOC) utilizes a Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Program to identify, assess, and monitor supply chain risks of critical vendors. The Government may use any information, public and non-public, including all-source intelligence for its analysis. The Contractor agrees that the Government may, at its own discretion, perform audits of supply chain risk processes or events consistent with other terms in the contract regarding access to records and audits. An onsite assessment may be required. Through the information obtained from a SCRM program, DOC may assess vendors and products through multiple risk lenses such as national security, cybersecurity, compliance, and finance. If supply chain risks are identified and corrective action becomes necessary, mutually agreeable corrective actions will be sought based upon specific identified risks. Failure to resolve any identified risk may result in contract termination.
