Supply Chain Risk Management
About SCRIPTS
The Supply Chain Risk Illumination Professional Tools and Services (SCRIPTS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a multiple-award, government-wide BPA established against GSA Multiple Award Schedules (MAS). It supports the Department of Defense (DoD), federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) serving as the anchor tenant. The purpose of the SCRIPTS BPA is to provide supply chain illumination tools and associated professional analytic support services to mitigate the risk of fraud, abuse, and adversarial exploitation of the supply chain. These tools offer capabilities for cyber hygiene, supply chain risk assessment, foreign ownership influence, vendor vetting, and personnel vetting, enabling continuous and dynamic monitoring of supplier health.

How is this approach different?
Our fundamental differentiator is an AI-first architecture. Knexus has been delivering AI solutions for the last two decades to the US Government, making AI integral to every workflow, not an afterthought.
This contrasts sharply with many established competitors. They often face significant challenges trying to introduce meaningful AI capabilities into their legacy systems. These platforms, and the rigid workflows built around them, weren’t designed for the flexibility and dynamic nature of modern AI. Furthermore, teams become deeply accustomed to these older systems, making it difficult to break free from established processes and embrace truly innovative, AI-driven approaches. This inertia often limits their ability to implement more than superficial AI features, restricting the potential benefits for their users.
