The Smart Matrix Table from Acquisition.GOV outlines various federal acquisition regulations (FAR) provisions and clauses relevant to government contracting. This document, crucial for federal RFPs and grants, details specific FAR sections such as those concerning telecommunications and video surveillance equipment (52.204-24, 52.204-25, 52.204-26), prohibition on contracting with entities engaging in certain activities (e.g., Kaspersky Lab, Iran), combating human trafficking, and promoting policies against text messaging while driving. Each entry includes the provision or clause number, its effective date, the prescribed FAR reference, and its applicability (P for Provision, C for Clause) across different acquisition types (FP, SVC, SAP). The table serves as a reference for contractors and government agencies to ensure compliance with federal acquisition requirements and standards, emphasizing supply chain security, ethical conduct, and responsible business practices.
