Cyber-Supply Chain Events, as they relate to this subpart, can include:

(a) Occurrence of an IT security incident;

(b) Discovery of a prohibited article or source; and

“Cyber-Supply Chain Risk Management”, or “C-SCRM”, means management of cyber-related (or, more generally, technology-related) risks in all phases of the acquisition lifecycle and at all levels of the supply chain, regardless of the product(s) or service(s) procured.

“Cyber-Supply Chain Risk Management Policy Advisor” means the identified lead of the Service-level acquisition management (e.g., the Federal Acquisition Service’s Office of Policy and Compliance (OPC), the Public Building Service’s Office of Acquisition Management (OAM), the Office of Administrative Services).

“IT security incident” means an occurrence that:

(a) Actually or imminently jeopardizes, without lawful authority, the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of information or an information system;

“Prohibited article” means any prohibited product, system, or service that the contractor offers or provides to the Government that conflicts with the supply chain terms or conditions of the solicitation or contract (e.g., Federal Acquisition Security Council (FASC) exclusion order, GSA CIO Order, counterfeit items, or FAR provision or clause, including, without limitation, FAR Clause at 52.204-23, Prohibition on Contracting for Hardware, Software, Products and Services Developed or Provided by Kaspersky Lab and Other Covered Entities, FAR Provision at 52.204-24, Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment, and FAR Clause at 52.204-25, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment).
