Supply Chain Mapping & Risk Illuminator

See who your suppliers depend on, several tiers down, and where that creates risk

Overview

The Supply Chain Mapping & Risk Illuminator builds a map of an agency's suppliers and their own suppliers from contract data, supplier disclosures and the commercial data sources you choose. It shows where critical products and services depend on a single source, on suppliers in countries of concern or on unstable regions, and records the evidence behind each finding. Analysts and contracting officers use it to document risk assessments, domestic preference reviews and mitigation decisions, which stay with people.

The problem it solves

Agencies are expected to understand where their critical goods and services come from, apply domestic preference rules, and keep prohibited sources out of their supply chains. In practice, most agencies know their prime contractors well and their sub-tier suppliers hardly at all. Supplier information sits in contract files, questionnaires and spreadsheets, commercial data is bought separately by different offices, and when a supplier is named in a new prohibition or a region becomes unstable, finding which programs are exposed takes weeks of emails.

Who it’s for

  • Supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) programs in federal civilian agencies
  • Contracting officers and acquisition staff applying domestic preference and sourcing rules
  • Program offices that own critical systems and products
  • Chief information security and acquisition officers who answer for supply chain risk
  • Inspectors general and auditors who review supply chain decisions

How the work flows

  1. MapContract and supplier data is loaded and resolved into a map of suppliers, their locations and their relationships, starting from your prime contractors and extending down as disclosures and data sources allow.
  2. AssessRisk criteria your program sets are applied across the map: single sources, suppliers in countries of concern, unstable regions, prohibited entities and domestic content questions, each finding with its evidence.
  3. EngageWhere data is missing or a finding needs explanation, the analyst sends a structured request to the supplier and tracks the response.
  4. Decide and mitigateConfirmed risks go to the people who own the decision. Contracting officers and program owners record the assessment, the mitigation chosen and its follow-up, with approval by the program lead where your procedures require it.

What it does

Multi-tier supplier map
Prime contractors and their sub-tier suppliers shown as a navigable map, with each relationship's source and date.
Entity resolution
Supplier records from different sources matched to a single entity, with uncertain matches flagged for an analyst to confirm.
Critical item marking
Programs mark the products and services critical to their mission, so analysis focuses where disruption would matter most.
Country and region risk
Supplier locations compared with the countries and regions your program designates, using lists your program approves.
Prohibited and excluded sources
Suppliers checked against the prohibition and exclusion lists your program configures, with each check and its result recorded.
Concentration analysis
Single-source and concentrated dependencies identified for critical items, including where several primes rely on the same sub-tier supplier.
Domestic preference review
Supplier and component information organized to support contracting officers' domestic content and country-of-origin reviews.
Supplier information requests
Structured questionnaires and document requests sent to suppliers through a portal, with responses tracked against each finding.
Explained findings
Every finding shows the supplier path, the criterion applied and the data source behind each step.
Risk assessments and mitigations
Assessment records with options, the decision taken, the approver and follow-up actions tracked to completion.
Change monitoring
When a list, data source or supplier record changes, the map is re-checked and new findings are raised for review.
Audit trail
Every data load, match, finding, decision and export recorded with the person and time.

Who uses it

Supply chain risk analyst
Builds and reviews the map, confirms or dismisses findings, and sends supplier requests

Implementation

Scope and critical items
We agree with your C-SCRM lead which programs, contracts and critical items are in scope first.
Data integration
Connections to your acquisition systems and the data sources you choose are built and tested. We need data extracts and a contact from each system's team.
Risk criteria and lists
Your program defines and approves the country, region, prohibition and concentration criteria, and the lists they use, with their sources documented.
Initial map and review
The first map is built and reviewed with analysts, uncertain entity matches are confirmed, and initial findings are triaged.
Workflow, roles and supplier portal
Assessment steps, approvers, roles and supplier questionnaires are configured to match your procedures.
Training and go-live
Analysts, contracting officers, program owners and approvers are trained on their own workflows, and supplier contacts receive instructions for the portal.

What it doesn’t do

  • It informs decisions; it does not make them. Sourcing, exclusion, mitigation and domestic preference determinations belong to your contracting officers and officials.
  • The map is only as complete as the data behind it. Sub-tier visibility depends on supplier disclosures and the commercial data your agency licenses, and gaps are shown as gaps, not filled by assumption.
  • Country, region and entity lists are configured and approved by your program. Moraph does not designate countries of concern or decide which entities are prohibited.
  • It does not issue FASCSA orders, exclusion or removal decisions, or debarments; it records the information and decisions your agency makes through its own processes.
  • Commercial supplier data is subject to the provider's licence terms and accuracy, and is purchased by your agency or through a separate agreement.
  • Moraph holds no FedRAMP authorization for this product. We provide control documentation to support your agency's own authorization decision.
  • It is not designed for classified supply chain information. Classified material must be handled outside it under your agency's procedures.
  • It is not a contract writing or procurement system; it works alongside your acquisition systems.

How to evaluate it

  • Load contract data for a few critical items and check how the prime contractors and their suppliers are resolved
  • Review uncertain entity matches and judge whether the explanations are enough to confirm them
  • Add a test entry to a designated list and see which findings it raises and how quickly analysts can trace them
  • Send a sample information request through the supplier portal and review the response flow
  • Walk a finding through assessment, mitigation and approval
  • Confirm role separation: who can change lists, who can decide, and what suppliers can see

Questions

Does it decide whether a supplier is prohibited?

No. It checks suppliers against the lists your program configures and approves, and shows the evidence. Decisions about exclusion, removal or mitigation are made by your agency's officials through its own processes.

How deep into the supply chain can it see?

As deep as the data allows. Prime contractor data comes from your contracts; sub-tier relationships come from supplier disclosures and the commercial sources you license. The map shows how many tiers are known for each item and where the gaps are.

Do suppliers need an account?

Supplier contacts sign in to a portal to answer requests sent to them. They see only their own requests and responses.

Is it FedRAMP authorized?

No. Moraph holds no FedRAMP authorization for this product. We provide control documentation to support your agency's own authorization decision.

Does it include commercial supply chain data?

It connects to the commercial providers your agency licenses. That data is bought by your agency or through a separate agreement and is used under the provider's terms.

How do we try it before buying?

A demonstration uses a fictional supplier network. For a deeper evaluation, a pilot can map a small set of your critical items from your own contract data and the sources you already have.
