[Verse 1]
When governments buy tech they need to know
Where every component comes from head to toe
Supply chain transparency is not a game
Each vendor must prove their security claims
[Chorus]
Verify, certify, document the source
Trace every pathway in the vendor course
NIST and FedRAMP guide the compliance way
Security first in the procurement game we play
[Verse 2]
Risk assessment starts with vendor screening deep
Background checks and clearance levels that they keep
Third party audits validate their stance
No shortcuts taken in this compliance dance
[Chorus]
Verify, certify, document the source
Trace every pathway in the vendor course
NIST and FedRAMP guide the compliance way
Security first in the procurement game we play
[Bridge]
Software bill of materials tells the tale
Open source components cannot fail
Continuous monitoring never sleeps
Public sector trust is what it keeps
[Verse 3]
Geopolitical threats shape buying rules
Foreign ownership triggers screening tools
Critical infrastructure needs extra care
National security beyond compare
[Chorus]
Verify, certify, document the source
Trace every pathway in the vendor course
NIST and FedRAMP guide the compliance way
Security first in the procurement game we play
[Outro]
From contract to deployment every day
Procurement security lights the way
