The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security is working with the Department of Defense to survey the industrial base involved with Air Force systems supply chains, BIS said in a June 8 notice. The survey data will provide both agencies with a clearer picture of the “structure and interdependencies” of companies that supply Air Force products, including “maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) related activities,” the notice said. The survey aims to help DoD’s Air Force Sustainment Center better “identify and resolve supply chain deficiencies, foreign dependencies, and other challenges in the industrial base.” The survey will also record “difficulties” faced by suppliers throughout the supply chain, including impacts from the coronavirus.
