TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS

Subtitle C — Amendments To General Contracting Authorities, Procedures, And Limitations

P. L. 114-

House Conference Report. 114-840

Section 818 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112–81; 10 U.S.C. 2302 note) is amended—

(1) in paragraph (3) of subsection (c)—

(A) by striking the heading and inserting “SUPPLIERS MEETING ANTICOUNTERFEITING REQUIREMENTS.— ”;

(B) in subparagraph (A)(i), by striking “trusted suppliers in accordance with regulations issued pursuant to subparagraph (C) or (D) who” and inserting “suppliers that meet anticounterfeiting requirements in accordance with regulations issued pursuant to subparagraph (C) or (D) and that”;

(C) in subparagraphs (A)(ii) and (A)(iii), by striking “trusted suppliers” each place it appears and inserting “suppliers that meet anticounterfeiting requirements”;

(D) in subparagraph (C), by striking “as trusted suppliers those” and inserting “suppliers”;

(E) in subparagraph (D) in the matter preceding clause (i), by striking “trusted suppliers” and inserting “suppliers that meet anticounterfeiting requirements”; and

(F) in subparagraphs (D)(i) and (D)(iii), by striking “trusted” each place it appears; and

(2) in subsection (e)(2)(A)(v), by striking “use of trusted suppliers” and inserting “the use of suppliers that meet applicable anticounterfeiting requirements”.

The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that would modify section 818 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) by replacing the term “trusted suppliers” with the term “suppliers that meet anticounterfeiting requirements”, as well as related conforming amendments. This provision would clear up confusion about the term, which refers to the specific category of microelectronics supplies that have been accredited by the Defense Microelectronics Activity.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

The Senate recedes.
