On July 6, 2015, DCMA issued Instruction 1205 that provides the framework the government will use to assess compliance with DFARS 252.246-7007 (May 2014), which requires certain contractors to design and deploy systems to avoid and detect counterfeit electronic parts. The instruction assigns roles and responsibilities for DCMA functions, establishes a risk-based approach that will drive the types of oversight and surveillance contractors can generally expect, and details the reporting that may occur if counterfeit materials or suspected counterfeit materials are identified.

On March 18, 2026, the Antitrust Division (Division) of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement (“NPA”) with Broadway Across America (“BAA”), resolving a criminal antitrust investigation into agreements between BAA and another entertainment company (“Company A”) that included non-compete restrictions on Company A’s ability to offer potentially competing programming. Notably, the restrictions were contained in a vertical agreement by which BAA presented touring shows at theaters owned by Company A.
