2026-07-23 — Securing America’s Defense Supply Chains and Ensuring Domestic Acquisition of Critical Materials: Presidential action directing domestic acquisition of critical materials for defense supply chains reinforces the broader executive-branch supply-chain security agenda within which DFARS Case 2022-D011’s printed circuit board sourcing restrictions operate, though it addresses critical materials more broadly rather than PCBs specifically. (novelty: 3)
2025-03-11 — Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependence Act: Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependence Act (introduced) would bar DHS from procuring batteries from six named China-based companies starting Oct 1, 2027 — a DHS-side, entity-specific analog to the DoD-side printed circuit board restrictions of DFARS Case 2022-D011, applying the same foreign-adversary supply-chain ban pattern to a different agency and commodity. (novelty: 2)
2026-03-04 — Critical Mineral Consistency Act of 2025: Critical Mineral Consistency Act of 2025 (introduced) would auto-sync the USGS critical minerals list with DOE’s critical materials list within 45 days — an upstream designation-alignment measure that feeds the same adversary-exposure concerns motivating DFARS Case 2022-D011’s printed circuit board sourcing restrictions, though it operates on list definitions rather than DoD procurement. (novelty: 2)
2025-05-26 — Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act: Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act (introduced) directs Commerce’s SelectUSA to consult state economic development organizations and report to Congress on strategies to attract semiconductor FDI — an upstream, civilian-side complement to DFARS Case 2022-D011’s DoD-side sourcing restrictions on printed circuit boards, aimed at strengthening the domestic microelectronics base. (novelty: 2)
2025-04-24 — Secure E-Waste Export and Recycling Act: HR2998 (Secure E-Waste Export and Recycling Act) would restrict U.S. e-waste exports specifically to disrupt overseas counterfeit-electronics sourcing — an upstream, materials-flow complement to DFARS Case 2022-D011’s downstream restrictions on adversary-sourced printed circuit boards in DoD acquisition. (novelty: 2)
2006-04-17 — To provide for supply chain security cooperation between Department of Homeland Security and the private sector, and for other purposes.: HR5144 (109th Congress, 2006) proposed a DHS-run secure electronic data interchange for voluntary supply chain risk information sharing with vetted private sector entities — a civilian/DHS analog to the DoD-side PCB acquisition restrictions under DFARS Case 2022-D011, sharing the same underlying goal of reducing adversary exposure in critical supply chains. (novelty: 2)
2025-12-18 — National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026: FY2026 NDAA (P.L. 119-60) enacted with DOD procurement authorizations and cybersecurity/AI policy — the annual authorization vehicle in which prior-year printed circuit board and supply-chain restrictions (implemented via DFARS Case 2022-D011) originated and may be extended. (novelty: 2)
2026-05-07 — Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (DFARS Case 2024-D021): DFARS Case 2024-D021 (GHG emissions disclosure implementing NDAA FY2024) is another example of DFARS rulemaking translating NDAA statutory mandates into contractor obligations, though addressing emissions reporting rather than supply chain sourcing. (novelty: 2)
2026-06-24 — ICTS Supply Chain Security Act of 2026: S4882 (ICTS Supply Chain Security Act of 2026), referred to Senate Banking, addresses information and communications technology supply chain security — a civilian/commerce-side analog to the DoD-side PCB acquisition restrictions under DFARS Case 2022-D011, both aimed at reducing adversary-nation exposure in critical technology supply chains. (novelty: 2)
2026-05-07 — Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Mitigating Risks Related to Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (DFARS Case 2021-D011): DFARS Case 2021-D011 (FOCI mitigation) is a parallel DFARS rulemaking implementing NDAA FY2020/FY2021 provisions to mitigate foreign ownership, control, or influence over defense contractors — complementary to the printed circuit board sourcing restrictions of DFARS Case 2022-D011 in the broader DoD supply chain assurance framework. (novelty: 2)
2026-06-15 — Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Distribution Transformers: DOE’s reopening of 2024 distribution transformer energy conservation standards on national-security supply-chain grounds is a parallel (non-DFARS) example of federal regulatory action being reconsidered to protect domestic manufacturing capacity for critical components, though it addresses grid transformers rather than DoD printed circuit boards.
