The Federal Acquisition Security Council Improvement Act, driven by bipartisan support, aims to counter security threats from foreign adversaries in government tech supply chains.
Sens. Peters and Rounds emphasize their initiative would strengthen oversight to protect the U.S. from vulnerabilities in its federal technology supply chain, especially regarding foreign connections.
With the transfer of leadership from the Office of Management and Budget to the Office of the National Cyber Director, the bill seeks to leverage specialized capabilities for addressing IT security threats.
The proposed legislation responds to the past inactivity of the Federal Acquisition Security Council, establishing clear processes for Congress to direct investigations into potential technology threats.
