The list is meant to help the Department of Defence limit its supply chain for problematic software code
The Pentagon is working on a software “do not buy” list to close its supply chain to software code originating from Russia and China, a top Pentagon acquisitions official said on Friday.
Ellen Lord, the undersecretary of defence for acquisition and sustainment, said the Pentagon has been working for six months on a “do not buy” list of software vendors.
The list is meant to help the Department of Defence’s acquisitions staff and industry partners avoid purchasing problematic code for the Pentagon and suppliers.
