C. Background
On December 11, 2008, the Councils
conducted a public meeting, (see
Federal Register notice at 73 FR 68373
on November 18, 2008) to seek
comments from both Government and
industry, on among other things,
whether the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) should be revised to
include a requirement that contractors
selling information technology (IT)
products (including computer hardware
and software) represent that such
products are authentic. The Councils
were interested in comments regarding
contractor liability if IT products sold to
the Government by contractor are not
authentic, and whether contractors who
are resellers or distributors of computer
hardware and software should represent
to the Government that they are
authorized by the original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) to sell the IT
products to the Government. The
Councils also sought comments on (1)
whether the measures contemplated
above should be extended to other items
purchased by the Government; and (2)
whether the rule should apply when IT
is a component of a system or assembled
product.
