scope:

Use/Relationship:

The Customized Microelectronics Devices Source Protection Plan documents the approved integrated strategy for supplying trust and managing risk in the supply chain management for customized microelectronics devices, e.g. Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASICs) that are used in Government systems. Trustedness derives from supply chain compliance with mission assurance guidance in DoDI 8500.2, Information Assurance Implementation, Enclosure E3.3, such that the confidentiality, availability and integrity of national security critical components are sufficiently robust to perform their missions successfully in the operational environments for which they were designed.

This Data Item Description (DID) is applicable to all customized microelectronics devices designated to be used in any Government (civilian or military) systems or equipment.

This DID contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in either the contract, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or User Partnership Agreement (UPA) and paragraph 2 of NSA/CSS Policy 3-8, Integration of Customized Microelectronics Products and Services.
