This government file outlines several Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and Defense Logistics Acquisition Directive (DLAD) clauses relevant to government contracts. Key FAR clauses address prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment (Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, etc.) and ByteDance (TikTok) applications, requiring offerors to represent compliance and provide detailed disclosures if non-compliant. The Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) orders prohibit specific covered articles or sources, requiring contractors to conduct reasonable inquiries, make representations, and report any non-compliance. DFARS clauses include instructions for using the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system for electronic invoicing and payment requests. DLAD clauses cover alternative dispute resolution, contractor notification for manufacturing phase-out or diminishing sources, retention of supply chain traceability documentation, and specific requirements for offers of unused former government surplus property. The overarching theme is ensuring supply chain security, compliance with federal prohibitions, and adherence to specific administrative and quality control procedures in government contracting.
