GIDEP Reporting for All - The New FAR Counterfeit Parts and Nonconformance Reporting Requirement

Webinar | 12.17.19, 8:00 AM EST - 9:30 AM EST

Please join us on December 17th for a special webinar presentation addressing the new FAR requirement that will change your supply chain compliance program (or compel you to start one).


Counterfeit parts reporting is no longer restricted to DoD contractors or to electronic parts. A new FAR requirement going into effect December 23, 2019, will require all contractors to participate in Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (“GIDEP”) reporting for critical counterfeit or suspect counterfeit parts, as well as certain nonconforming parts and other items. Moreover, contractors will be required to monitor the GIDEP database to identify and investigate any reported counterfeit or nonconforming parts in the contractor’s supply chain.  


This webinar will specifically address:

  • What products and contract types are (and are not) subject to the new reporting requirement
  • What qualifies as a counterfeit or suspect counterfeit part
  • What qualifies as nonconforming parts
  • Who must report and who is exempt
  • Reporting timelines and process 
  • Best practices for updating your supply chain compliance program to incorporate this new reporting mandate
We will provide a certificate of attendance and other materials to use in seeking continuing education credits.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
