This is a Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provision 252.204-7016 that outlines requirements regarding covered defense telecommunications equipment or services representation. The provision, dated December 2019, requires offerors to review the System for Award Management (SAM) excluded parties list for entities prohibited from receiving federal awards related to covered defense telecommunications equipment or services. It includes a representation requirement where offerors must indicate whether they do or do not provide covered defense telecommunications equipment or services as part of their offered products or services to the Government.

This provision appears in a solicitation for generator powered mobile light towers for the Virginia Army National Guard, requiring 54 units for a 3-week rental period in June 2025. The requirement is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 532490 with a $40 million size standard, and will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price contract with funding contingent on appropriations beyond March 14, 2025. The contracting officer intends to evaluate and award without discussions, though reserves the right to conduct them if necessary.
