U.S. Embassy Manama - Vehicle Purchase

The John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019 mandates compliance regarding Covered Telecommunications Equipment and Services. This attachment, an Express NDAA Certification, outlines the requirements for vendors contracting with the United States Department of State. It directs merchants to review specific Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions and clauses (52.204-24, 52.204-25, and 52.204-26) related to these restrictions. Merchants must then represent whether they will provide or use covered telecommunications equipment or services in the performance of any contract. If they indicate they will, or do, use such equipment or services, they are required to provide additional disclosure information. This certification ensures that vendors comply with federal regulations designed to prevent the use of prohibited telecommunications equipment and services in government contracts.

The U.S. Embassy in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) number MPR0572237 on November 23, 2025, for the purchase of SUV vehicles.
