The Defense Logistics Agency seeks information on new or alternative technologies for tracing microcircuits to their original vendor to mitigate counterfeit risks, aiming to meet or exceed its current plant-based DNA marking standard. Responses must include a company profile, a five-year cost estimate, recommendations to improve the draft Statement of Work, a technical approach, and strategies to mitigate counterfeited parts. This is a market research request only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract. The government will not reimburse any response costs.
