Pentagon Creates ‘Do Not Buy’ List of Russian, Chinese Software.
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.
Apparently The The Pentagon started compiling the list about six months ago. Suspicious companies are put on a list that is circulated to the military’s software buyers. Now the Pentagon is working with the three major defense industry trade associations — the Aerospace industries Association, National Defense Industrial Association and Professional Services Council — to alert contractors small and large.
Does anyone know whether there are any OSS vendors on this list? One would assume that Huawei and ZTE Soft would be. Who else?
