add the framework for a new FAR part on information security and supply 
chain security. The new FAR part will be used to prescribe policies and 
procedures for managing information security and supply chain security 
when acquiring products and services. The creation of this new FAR part 
does not implement any of the information security and supply chain 
security policies or procedures. Relocation of the related existing 
policies or procedures will be done through separate rulemaking.
