DPA Title III:
Title III of the federal Defense Production Act offers a powerful, nontraditional way for contractors to do business with the federal government. Under Title III, contractors may receive loans, direct investments, purchase commitments and other assistance to help address actual or projected shortfalls in the domestic supply of certain industrial resources and critical technology items.
FOCI:
A government contractor cannot perform a contract requiring access to classified information unless the contractor is free of Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) or implements appropriate safeguards to protect national security. Additionally, contractors may be subject to a FOCI review for certain contracts without security clearance requirements as part of the Contracting Officer’s responsibility assessment.
The IBAS Program invests heavily in six priority industrial capability development areas. These are: Submarine and Shipbuilding Workforce, Kinetic Weapons, Microelectronics, Critical Chemicals, Castings and Forgings, and Energy Storage and Batteries. Each of these areas was identified in Presidential executive orders as a center of gravity for America’s economic and national security.
