B-08 / Strategic assessment
Illuminate and secure defense supply chains across tiers
Existing authority; implementation and scope verification
Existing pathway
Industrial-base assessments, statutory sourcing restrictions, security/FOCI mechanisms, lawful contract requirements and information-gathering powers offer pathways.
What remains unresolved
The July 2026 order schedules additional guidance/rules and January 2027 waiver-policy changes. A future implementation deadline is not a current statutory grant or proof of an authority gap.
Coordination or legislative question
Identify the exact required dataset, existing contractual/data rights and statutory information authority; distinguish implementation work from the need for new law.
Analytical mapping from the cited demand to statutory mechanisms; not a claim that the strategy expressly requests every possible mechanism.
