The GSA has issued a guide for agency procurement of fifth generation (5G) wireless technology under a 2020 law that required the agency to produce strategy to ensure the security of those systems and infrastructure.
“Part of that strategy takes aim at reducing supply chain risks to U.S. economic and national security during the development and deployment of 5G infrastructure worldwide. To support this effort, GSA was charged with establishing acquisition processes to facilitate 5G infrastructure for classified information requirements,” the agency said.
The guide “focuses on achieving that goal by orienting agencies and their vendors to best-in-class acquisition vehicles that feature secure 5G services within their scope,” it said, adding that the guide “will be regularly reviewed to keep pace with changing technology, ensure governmentwide cybersecurity requirements are accurate, and incorporate feedback from stakeholders.”
