Welcome to SCA050: Suspect/Counterfeit Items Awareness Training!
This Suspect/Counterfeit Items (S/CI) and Fraudulent Items (FI) or S/CI-FI awareness course is applicable to all members of the workforce (MOW), Subcontractors, and all other Suppliers that may support Sandia National Laboratories or other DOE/NNSA sites and laboratories whose job assignment puts them in the position to manage or perform operations in procurement, identifying, detecting, disposing of, reporting on, or controlling access to suspect/counterfeit or fraudulent items (S/CI-FI).
Job assignments or areas of responsibility such as management, engineering, procurement (including those who submit purchase requests or PRs, P-Card, and Just-in-Time or JIT), supply chain personnel, business management, Environment Safety & Health (ES&H), security, logistics, quality assurance, receipt inspection, warehouse and storage, transportation, maintenance, facilities, activity level work operations, and occurrence reporting are examples of work areas most likely to encounter S/CI-FI and at a minimum should take this training, but may be required by their areas or management to take additional S/CI-FI mitigation training courses.
Management should evaluate the specific training needs of their personnel to ensure that they are proficient in S/CI-FI identification, prevention, detection, disposition, reporting, and control procedures within their areas of responsibility.
Suspect/Counterfeit and Fraudulent Items (S/CI-FIs) pose immediate and potential threats to the health and safety of workers at Sandia National Laboratories, Subcontractor workers, the public, and the environment. Additionally, the use of S/CI-FI materials or items in critical applications risks our laboratories reputation and efforts for completing projects timely, cost effectively, and ultimately completing our projects and missions successfully.
Items that are commonly counterfeited in an office and lab environment include: electronics, information and communication technology equipment (i.e. mobile devices and items that connect to your computers), electrical components (i.e. electrical circuit breakers), high strength mechanical fasteners (bolts, washers, nuts), lifting equipment, (slings, shackles, and clevises), valves, pipe fittings, flanges , relays, connectors, lubricants, adhesives and other chemicals and chemical compounds. Many items that are manufactured may be targeted for counterfeiting or fraud, including items that are specially fabricated for government or military use or are stated to be made in the US.
