The document also includes requirements for notifying the Department of State about cybersecurity supply chain events and software vulnerabilities. Additionally, it lists FAR clauses that must be flowed down to subcontractors, particularly those related to business ethics, prohibition on certain hardware/software, small business utilization, equal opportunity, and combating human trafficking. This comprehensive set of clauses ensures compliance with federal regulations and addresses critical cybersecurity concerns in government contracting.
