US Federal Cyber Procurement Overhaul

The federal government, including agencies such as the General Services Administration, NASA, and the Department of Defense, is undertaking a significant overhaul of its procurement policies to enhance cybersecurity defenses and fortify supply chain security. This initiative involves the creation of a new section, FAR part 40, within the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which will consolidate information security and supply chain security policies. The aim is to provide a unified framework for managing these critical aspects throughout the federal procurement process, addressing challenges associated with dispersed regulations and improving the acquisition workforce’s ability to implement relevant requirements effectively.

Under the new FAR part 40, contracting officers will have access to a centralized repository of security requirements, simplifying the procurement process and ensuring consistent compliance across federal acquisitions. This consolidation is a response to the difficulties faced by the acquisition workforce in navigating and implementing scattered regulations, and it represents a proactive step towards strengthening national security against cybersecurity threats and supply chain risks. The initiative aligns with the Biden administration’s cybersecurity executive order, emphasizing the government’s commitment to enhancing security posture and safeguarding against emerging threats.

The final rule establishing FAR part 40, published jointly by the General Services Administration, NASA, and the Department of Defense, marks a significant milestone in the government’s efforts to modernize its procurement practices. By addressing cybersecurity and supply chain security challenges in a consolidated manner, federal agencies can better mitigate risks associated with foreign adversaries, emerging technologies, and other evolving threats. Additionally, the establishment of FAR part 40 underscores the government’s recognition of the importance of securing information and supply chains in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
