Senate Passes Bill to Establish Government Supply Chain Council
The Senate passed legislation that would establish an interagency council with authority to develop rules for federal supply chain security.
The Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Council will be charged with the development of National Institute of Standards and Technology guidelines on supply chain risk management, crafting information-sharing protocols between federal and non-federal entities, establishing a lead agency to oversee the information-sharing process and looking into broadly applicable contracting solutions, such as subscription services or machine learning-enhanced analysis, that can guide procurement decisions.
