The Director shall establish and maintain a National Supply Chain Database, subject to the availability of appropriations. The purpose of the National Supply Chain Database shall be to assist the Federal government and industry sectors in minimizing disruptions to the United States supply chain by having an assessment of United States manufacturers’ capabilities. In establishing the National Supply Chain Database, the Director shall consider the findings and recommendations from the study authorized in section 9413 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 ( Public Law 116–283 ), including measures to secure and protect the National Supply Chain Database from adversarial attacks and vulnerabilities.
The National Supply Chain Database shall be carried out and managed through the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership program or its designee and the Director shall ensure that the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership Centers are connected to the National Supply Chain Database. The National Supply Chain Database shall be capable of providing a national view of the supply chain and enable authorized database users to determine in near real-time the United States manufacturing capabilities for critical products, including defense supplies, food, and medical devices, including personal protective equipment.
The Database may include the following: Basic company information. An overview of capabilities, accreditations, and products. Proprietary information. Such other items as the Director considers necessary. The Database may use the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes as follows: Sector 31-33 — Manufacturing. Sector 54 — Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. Sector 48-49 — Transportation and Warehousing. The Database may be multi-leveled as agreed to under terms of mutual disclosure as follows:
Level 1 may have basic company information and shall be available to the public. Level 2 may have a deeper, nonproprietary overview into capabilities, products, and accreditations and shall be available to all companies that contribute to the Database. Level 3 may hold proprietary information. Each State’s supply chain database maintained by the Institute-recognized Manufacturing Extension Partnership Center within the State shall be complementary in design to the National Supply Chain Database.
The Director, acting through the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership program, shall maintain the National Supply Chain Database as an integration of the State level databases from each State’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership Center and may be populated with information from past, current, or potential Center clients. The National Supply Chain Database and any information related to it not publicly released by the Institute shall be exempt from public disclosure under section 552 of title 5, United States Code, and access to non-public content shall be limited to the contributing company and Manufacturing Extension Partnership Center staff who sign an appropriate non-disclosure agreement.
The Director may make aggregated, de-identified information available to contributing companies, Centers, or the public, as the Director considers appropriate, in support of the purposes of this section. There are authorized to be appropriated— $31,000,000 for fiscal year 2022 to develop and launch the Database; and $26,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2023 through 2026 to maintain, update, and support Federal coordination of the State supply chain databases maintained by the Centers.
