Frequently Asked Questions for DNA Marking November 8, 2012 Applicability

Q. What end products/equipment will this new requirement help to protect?

A. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) top priority is warfighter support. As a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) combat support agency, we are firmly committed to a robust counterfeit mitigation strategy that protects our warfighters and the vital missions that they perform. The DLA is modifying microcircuit technical requirements to help prevent counterfeits from entering DLA's Supply Chain by requiring deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) marking of authentic products. The DLA procures and supplies microcircuits for a broad range of applications within weapons systems and support equipment. This new requirement will help to protect DoD weapon systems. Many items which DLA manages are used in more than one weapon system. The specific list and number of parts which will be subject to the requirement is being defined by DLA using a phased-in approach. While the initial commodity being targeted is microelectronics, the technology could be utilized with other commodities. DLA appreciates our supply chain partners' recognition of the significant risk that counterfeit semiconductors pose to the men and woman serving our country. It is a threat that demands immediate and thoughtful countermeasures. We welcome contributions by our industry partners, including groups such as the Semiconductor Industry Association, in our efforts to prevent counterfeit semiconductors from entering the DLA Supply Chain.
