SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
There are two purposes. The first (``889'') supports implementation
of Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232) under lease acquisitions and
commercial solution openings. This section prohibits agencies from
procuring, obtaining, extending or renewing a contract with contractors
that will provide or use covered telecommunication equipment or
services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as a
critical technology as part of any system on or after August 13, 2020
unless an exception applies.
The second (``FASCSA Orders'') supports implementation of supply
chain risk information sharing and exclusion or removal orders
consistent with the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of
2018 and a final rule issued by the Federal Acquisition Security
Council. The implementation of supply chain risk information sharing
and exclusion or removal orders FAR interim rule requires complying
with exclusion or removal orders (``FASCSA Orders'') and sharing
certain supply chain risk information with the Federal Acquisition
Security Council (FASC) when applicable FASCSA orders are issued from
one or a combination of the following FASCSA orders-issuing agencies:
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DoD),
and/or the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Only
DHS may issue orders applicable to GSA (i.e., civilian agencies).
For 889, the requirement is implemented in the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) through the provision at FAR 52.204-24, Representation
Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or
Equipment and the clause at FAR 52.204-25, Prohibition on Contracting
for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or
Equipment.
For FASCSA Orders, the requirement is implemented in the FAR
through the provision at FAR 52.204-29, Federal Acquisition Supply
Chain Security Act Orders-Representation and Disclosures and the clause
at FAR 52.204-30, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders-
Prohibition.
