Partnership with the Department of Commerce -- Defense Industrial Base Assessment Critical Facility Survey
DSS is partnering with the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry
and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), to conduct a
survey and assessment of organizations responsible for the research,
development, manufacture, test, and integration of defense and
high-technology products, components, and related services.
(more)
This effort will
assist DSS in its mission to provide security oversight and education on
behalf of the DOD and other U.S. Government departments and agencies. The
data will also provide a baseline understanding of the structure and
interdependencies of organizations that participate in DOD acquisition
programs and their associated supply chains. The first surveys were sent to
industry in November 2015, with the goal of surveying every NISP facility
over the next two years. To date, approximately half of all NISP facilities
have received and responded to the survey. Surveys are being mailed and
emailed to the Facility Security Officer's attention. A word on email -- If
your company uses a spam filter, please enter CriticalFacility@bis.doc.gov
as a trusted email to avoid issues with receiving the survey email. BIS
has created a survey website that provides information, FAQs and guidance
about the survey, https://respond.census.gov/criticalfacility. Additional
questions can be directed to CriticalFacility@bis.doc.gov (preferred) or
(202) 482-7808. DSS CI POC is Jeffrey Spinnanger,
