OEM Statement of Compliance on Limitation on Telecommunications Equipment Procurement

This document is a template form for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to certify compliance with federal telecommunications equipment procurement restrictions. The statement requires an OEM to represent that it complies with Section 208 of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2020, which is contained within the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94). This law prohibits the acquisition of certain telecommunications equipment as well as high-impact or moderate-impact information systems, as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 199 ("Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems").

The form requires completion by a certifying officer who must provide their name, title, date, and signature. The certification is made on the basis of the OEM's best knowledge and belief. This template appears designed for use in federal solicitations requiring vendors to attest to compliance with telecommunications security restrictions before equipment procurement can be authorized.
