This government file outlines two mandatory provisions, 52.204-24 and 52.204-26, for offerors in federal government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs. These provisions address the prohibition on contracting for certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment, as mandated by Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. Offerors must represent whether they 'will' or 'will not' provide such covered equipment or services to the Government (52.204-24(d)(1)) and whether they 'do' or 'do not' use such equipment or services (52.204-24(d)(2)). If an offeror responds affirmatively to either, they must provide detailed disclosures about the equipment or services, including the entity that produced them, a description, and an explanation of their proposed use. Provision 52.204-26 specifically requires a representation on whether the offeror 'does' or 'does not' provide covered telecommunications equipment or services as part of its offered products or services to the Government. All offerors must review the System for Award Management (SAM) for excluded parties. Failure to complete and return these provisions with a quote will result in ineligibility for award.
