Eliot,
I’m not familiar with the GSA work you mention. Can you provide a pointer to GSA documents indicating that SBOM’s are required. I’ve seen where SBOM’s are required in the Department of State Evolve RFP. Also, why would ITI and others be lobbying Congress to have SBOM removed from the NDAA, as the linked article indicates. There must be a reason. I suspect it’s because Congress creates laws, and the NDAA law makes SBOM a legal requirement.

GSA is already specifying SBOMs. And is the list to encourage congressional lobbying?

Members of Congress please help your own cybersecurity professionals that work so hard to keep you and your districts safe from hacker attacks. Restore the SBOM provision in the NDAA.” https://energycentral.com/c/pip/industry-objections-spur-changes-cybersecurity-provisions-defense-bill%C2%A0%C2%A0 Thanks, Dick Brooks Active Member of the CISA Critical Manufacturing Sector, Sector Coordinating Council – A Public-Private Partnership Never trust software, always verify and report! <https://reliableenergyanalytics.com/products> ™ http://www.reliableenergyanalytics.com <http://www.reliableenergyanalytics.com/> Email: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Tel: +1 978-696-1788 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
