DFARS 252.246-7007 (Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance) and related supply-chain diligence expect contractors to understand restricted-party and single-source exposure in their electronics supply base. This brief summarizes PUBLIC firm-level signals (sanctions lists, federal spending proxies, supplier graph) — not component BOM provenance.

CRITICAL — direct suppliers sanctioned: SMIC [BIS-EntityList, NDAA-1260H, NDAA-CMIC], JCET Group [BIS-EntityList]. A sanctioned node in the immediate supply path is a binary procurement risk that overrides all favorable factors.

• Self: not flagged on tracked lists
• Supplier SMIC — BIS-EntityList, NDAA-1260H, NDAA-CMIC
• Supplier JCET Group — BIS-EntityList

1. Treat as procurement veto candidate until counsel clears restricted-party status and ownership aggregation.
2. Map dual-source options for 2 sanctioned direct supplier(s); document acceptance risk.
3. Run multi-node stress on this firm plus peer producers; quantify DoD-path blast before sole-source buy.
4. Preserve shortest DoD path strings in the auditor pack for program-office handoff.
