Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
In Trade and Geopolitical Risk, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement governs how defense contractors and their supply chains manage foreign sourcing, country-of-origin requirements, and national security disclosures. The Office of Defense Pricing and Contracting and the Defense Contract Audit Agency hold primary enforcement authority here, with the Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls adding a second layer of scrutiny wherever controlled items or dual-use technology cross borders. Compliance teams working in this space are actively auditing vendor agreements against DFARS clause 252.225 series requirements as geopolitical pressure on allied-nation sourcing and China-origin restrictions continues to produce contract-level risk.
