Attachment 1 – Express NDAA Certification from the U.S. Department of State addresses compliance with Public Law 115-232, the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019. This document mandates that vendors make representations regarding their use of “Covered Telecommunications Equipment and Services.” The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.2105 implements these requirements through provisions 52.204-24, 52.204-26, and contract clause 52.204-25. Merchants are directed to review these FAR provisions, answer specific questions regarding their provision or use of such equipment and services, and then complete a representation form. This form, signed by an authorized representative, must be returned to their Contract Specialist to ensure adherence to federal procurement regulations concerning national security.
