2027-R-009 Section 208 Compliance Certificate.pdf

This is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Statement of Compliance template regarding limitations on telecommunications equipment procurement. The form requires OEM certification that the company complies with Section 208 of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2020, as contained in the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94). The compliance statement addresses prohibitions on the acquisition of certain telecommunications equipment and high-impact or moderate-impact information systems, with security categorization standards defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 199, "Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems."

The template is designed for completion by an authorized certifying officer from the OEM, who must provide their name, title, date, and signature. This compliance statement is typically required as part of federal contract solicitations and proposals to ensure that equipment and systems being procured meet federal security and telecommunications procurement restrictions. The document serves as a binding representation of the OEM's compliance status and commitment to adhere to applicable federal procurement regulations.
