As prescribed in 209.170-4, use the following provision:
Representation For Restriction On The Use Of Certain Institutions Of
Higher Education (AUG 2025)
(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--
Confucius Institute means--
(1) Any program that receives funding or support from--
(i) The Chinese International Education Foundation; or
(ii) The Center for Language Exchange Cooperation of the
Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China; or
(2) Any cultural institute directly or indirectly funded by the
government of the People's Republic of China.
Institution of higher education has the meaning given in 20
U.S.C. 1002.
(b) Restriction. As required by section 1062 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Pub. L. 116-283),
DoD may not award a contract with any institution of higher
education that hosts a Confucius Institute. Section 1062 prohibits
DoD from providing funding to any U.S. institution of higher
education hosting a Confucius Institute unless that institution
receives a waiver from the Department of Defense Office of the Under
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)). The
waiver authority terminates on October 1, 2026. Any waiver issued
will not apply on or after that date. See the OUSD(R&E) Confucius
Institute Waiver Program Guidance to U.S. Institutions of Higher
Education at <a href="https://rt.cto.mil/wp-content/uploads/Confucius-Institute-Waiver-Program-Guidance-28Mar2023.pdf">https://rt.cto.mil/wp-content/uploads/Confucius-Institute-Waiver-Program-Guidance-28Mar2023.pdf</a>.
(c) Representation. By submission of an offer, the Offeror
represents that--
(1) It is not an institution of higher education that hosts a
Confucius Institute; or
(2) The Offeror has obtained a waiver approved by OUSD(R&E).
