Covered article - The term "covered article" includes:
"Information and Communications technology," which is an industry term for information technology that is involved in integrating telecommunications (e.g., telephone lines and wireless signals) and computers to enable users to access, store, manipulate, transmit, and receive digital information. This includes software, software as a service, digital and data services, and hardware components that support information creation, storage, transfer, and management, like computers and smartphones.
"Telecommunications Equipment," which means equipment, other than customer premises equipment, used by a carrier to provide telecommunications services, and includes software integral to such equipment (including upgrades).
"Telecommunications Service," which means the offering of telecommunications for a fee directly to the public, or to such classes of users as to be effectively available directly to the public, regardless of the facilities used.
“Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk,” which means the risk that a person may sabotage, maliciously introduce unwanted function, extract data, or otherwise manipulate the design, integrity, manufacturing, production, distribution, installation, operation, maintenance, disposition, or retirement of covered articles to surveil, deny, disrupt, or otherwise manipulate the function, use, or operation of the covered articles or information stored or transmitted on the covered articles.
“Incident,” which means, per the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, “an occurrence that (A) actually or imminently jeopardizes, without lawful authority, the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of information or an information system; or (B) constitutes a violation or imminent threat of violation of law, security policies, security procedures, or acceptable use policies.”
"Vulnerability,” means any weakness in an information system, system security procedures, internal controls, or implementation that could be exploited or triggered by a threat source.
Contractor Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management Responsibilities. The Contractor must regularly identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate cybersecurity supply chain risks when providing covered articles or services to the Government. The Contractor shall maintain artifacts (i.e., any byproduct of hardware or software development that helps describe the architecture, design, and function of that hardware or software) that document its compliance with this paragraph and shall provide these artifacts to the Government within 48 hours of request, which may be redacted to remove sensitive proprietary information.
Supporting Government Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Assessments. No more than an estimated once per year, the Contractor must provide any requested information related to its supply chain within 10 business days except information that is protected by a non-disclosure agreement with its customers (e.g., another federal agency).

For proposed novation agreements for this contract, the Contractor shall provide any information requested by the Government regarding the proposed successor’s identity and information regarding its supply chain.
Notification procedures for cybersecurity supply chain incidents. When an incident occurs, the Contractor must contact the CO or their designee within 72 hours of the incident.
Subcontracts. The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause in all subcontracts and other contractual instruments in support of this contract.
Attestation following Major Version Change. Critical Software, as defined by NIST Guidance, that is provided by the Contractor or subcontractors and is modified during the contract’s period of performance by a major version change (e.g., using a semantic versioning schema of Major. Minor. Patch, the software version number goes from 2.5 to 3.0) requires a new self-attestation. For indefinite delivery contract vehicles, this self-attestation must be provided for all critical software available for ordering on the contract vehicle when the software is modified during the contract vehicle’s ordering period of performance by a major version change. The Contractor shall either (i) post the new attestation in a publicly available internet location within 14 days of the major version change and provide the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), or CO if a COR is not appointed, with the internet link or shall contact the COR, or CO if a COR is not appointed, and request the agency’s current software self-attestation form and submit it to the Government within 15 days of the major version change. The self-attestation form must contain the following elements: (i) the software producer's name; (ii) a description of which product or products the statement refers to including the number of the major version change; and (iii) a statement attesting that the software producer follows secure development practices and tasks consistent with NIST Guidance.
