Shanghai Micro Electronics (SMEE)

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.

CRITICAL — Shanghai Micro Electronics (SMEE) is itself sanctioned (BIS-EntityList). A sanctioned node in the immediate supply path is a binary procurement risk that overrides all favorable factors.

1. Treat as procurement veto candidate until counsel clears restricted-party status and ownership aggregation.
2. Run multi-node stress on this firm plus peer producers; quantify DoD-path blast before sole-source buy.
3. Preserve shortest DoD path strings in the auditor pack for program-office handoff.
