Getting started with Supply Chain Mapping & Risk Illuminator

The Supply Chain Mapping & Risk Illuminator builds a map of an agency's suppliers and their own suppliers from contract data, supplier disclosures and the commercial data sources you choose. It shows where critical products and services depend on a single source, on suppliers in countries of concern or on unstable regions, and records the evidence behind each finding. Analysts and contracting officers use it to document risk assessments, domestic preference reviews and mitigation decisions, which stay with people.

What it is for

Agencies are expected to understand where their critical goods and services come from, apply domestic preference rules, and keep prohibited sources out of their supply chains. In practice, most agencies know their prime contractors well and their sub-tier suppliers hardly at all. Supplier information sits in contract files, questionnaires and spreadsheets, commercial data is bought separately by different offices, and when a supplier is named in a new prohibition or a region becomes unstable, finding which programs are exposed takes weeks of emails.

• Visibility usually stops at the prime contractor
• Supplier disclosures and questionnaires are kept in files that cannot be searched together
• Exposure to a newly prohibited source or affected region is found by hand
• Risk assessments and mitigation decisions are hard to evidence consistently
