DFARS 252.246-7007 (Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance) and related supply-chain diligence expect contractors to understand restricted-party and single-source exposure in their electronics supply base. This brief summarizes PUBLIC firm-level signals (sanctions lists, federal spending proxies, supplier graph) — not component BOM provenance.

Recommended actions

Run multi-node stress on this firm plus peer producers; quantify DoD-path blast before sole-source buy.
Preserve shortest DoD path strings in the auditor pack for program-office handoff.

Public-data screening only. Not a substitute for counsel-reviewed OFAC/BIS diligence, ownership aggregation (OFAC 50% rule), or classified program BOM review. Name-matching has known recall gaps.
