C. Background 

On December 11, 2008, the Councils 

conducted a public meeting, (see 

Federal Register notice at 73 FR 68373 

on November 18, 2008) to seek 

comments from both Government and 

industry, on among other things, 

whether the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) should be revised to 

include a requirement that contractors 

selling information technology (IT) 

products (including computer hardware 

and software) represent that such 

products are authentic. The Councils 

were interested in comments regarding 

contractor liability if IT products sold to 

the Government by contractor are not 

authentic, and whether contractors who 

are resellers or distributors of computer 

hardware and software should represent 

to the Government that they are 

authorized by the original equipment 

manufacturer (OEM) to sell the IT 

products to the Government. The 

Councils also sought comments on (1) 

whether the measures contemplated 

above should be extended to other items 

purchased by the Government; and (2) 

whether the rule should apply when IT 

is a component of a system or assembled 

product. 

The public meetings contemplated by 

this notice will continue a dialogue with 

industry and Government agencies on 

the impact of counterfeit IT products on 

matters of performance and security; 

contractor liability and consequential 

damages; competitiveness issues 

associated with procuring IT products 

from the original equipment 

manufacturer or authorized distributor; 

identifying viable means of 

authenticating IT products; and 

contractor supply chain risk 

management requirements as an 

evaluation factor in the procurement of 

IT products. The meetings are intended 

to provide for an exchange of 

information and ideas that may be used 

to assist in developing greater assurance 

around IT products acquired by the 

Government.
