Minimizing risk within your supply chain, in relation to obsolescence and counterfeit components has become increasingly complex due to the consolidation of the semi-conductor industry as well as the expansion of the federal regulations to no longer allow “trusted suppliers”. The recent DFARS 252.246.7008, released in August 2016, has given some guidance, however has also brought up as many questions as it attempted to answer.
