The goal of reporting counterfeit and suspect counterfeit items and common items that have a critical or major nonconformance into GIDEP is to avoid, detect, and address nonconforming or counterfeit parts in the supply chain. This information will be used by the Government to address and detect nonconforming and counterfeit items. Perhaps more important, this information will be available to businesses for searching prior to placing orders, thus enabling the avoidance of purchasing counterfeit items in the first place.
