Don Mansfield Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 DFARS 214.201-5( c ) was recently added to read: Include an evaluation factor regarding supply chain risk (see subpart 239.73) when acquiring information technology, whether as a service or as a supply, that is a covered system, is a part of a covered system, or is in support of a covered system, as defined in239.7301.

ji20874 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Is it the use of a non-price evaluation factor in a sealed bid? You quoted DFARS 214.201-5( c ), and Part 14 is sealed bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metteec Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Don, do you think that FAR Provision 52.214-21, Descriptive Literature, could be the means for the agency requesting and evaluating the supply chain management plan (particularly paragraph (B )(5))?

No, I don't think a supply chain management plan would fall within "Methods of manufacture, assembly, construction, or operation" of a product. I think that information necessary to assess a bidder's supply chain risk should be requested as part of a responsibility determination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
