# Semiconductor Industry Association Maps Supply Chain Risks

A Semiconductor Industry Association analysis finds that upstream dependencies create significant hidden vulnerabilities in U.S. semiconductor supply chains: about 76% of assessed Tier 1 supply categories are linked to at least one highly vulnerable sub-tier input. The analysis identifies potential areas for strengthening resilience, including domestic production capacity, strategic inventories, critical-mineral mining and processing, and materials research and recycling. It announces no specific solicitation or award, but points to areas where future federal incentives, grants, and partnerships could create opportunities for industry and contractors.

- Companies can assess whether their capabilities support domestic semiconductor production, inventory resilience, critical-mineral supply, or materials research and recycling.
- The analysis highlights supply-chain exposure involving China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore, relevant to sourcing and resilience planning.
- Procurement teams and contractors can use these identified capability gaps to shape partnership strategies and watch for future incentive, grant, or partnership opportunities; no active procurement or application deadline is specified.
