Abstract: Counterfeiting affects governments, businesses and consumers throughout the supply chain. Growing concerns regarding counterfeit parts led to the enactment of Section 818 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) Fiscal Year 2012, requiring regulations regarding the definition, prevention, detection, and reporting of actual or suspected counterfeit items in the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) system. While section 818 was directed specifically at the Department of Defense (DoD), the Administration considers the problem of counterfeit parts to be significant across the Federal Government. Therefore, the paperwork requirement will impact all Federal agencies. Additionally, further guidance is given in the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Letter 91-3, Reporting Nonconforming Products, directing Federal agencies to report nonconforming products. Combined, the goal of reporting counterfeit and suspect counterfeit items into GIDEP is to avoid, detect and address counterfeit parts in the supply chain.
