The Federal Practitioner’s Guide to Supply Chain Risk & Due Diligence

Federal procurement decisions demand more than risk scores — they demand defensible reasoning. This guide gives procurement, risk, and finance professionals a practical framework for identifying supply chain threats, applying evidence correctly, and reaching award decisions that hold up to scrutiny.

Key takeaways:

• Replace low/medium/high risk ratings with decision-geometry classifications that directly inform action
• Understand how Foreign Ownership, Control, and Influence (FOCI) threats manifest — and how to mitigate them
• Build a scalable due diligence workflow that protects analyst capacity and improves cross-agency consistency
