WASHINGTON: The Pentagon is working on a software “do not buy” list to block vendors who use software code originating from Russia and China, a top Defense Department acquisitions official said on Friday.
Ellen Lord, the under secretary of defence for acquisition and sustainment, told reporters the Pentagon had been working for six months on a “do not buy” list of software vendors. The list is meant to help the Department of Defence's acquisitions staff and industry partners avoid buying problematic code for the Pentagon and suppliers.
