    This government file outlines several Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses concerning supply chain security, telecommunications equipment, and small business representations. Key FAR clauses prohibit contracting with entities using covered telecommunications equipment or services from specific foreign adversaries (e.g., Huawei, ZTE) and ByteDance's TikTok application on government IT, requiring disclosure and potential waivers. The Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) orders further restrict certain covered articles or sources, necessitating contractor inquiry and reporting.
