The provision requires offerors to represent whether they will or will not provide covered defense telecommunications equipment or services as part of their offered products or services to DoD under any contract resulting from the solicitation.

The provision outlines specific procedures requiring offerors to review excluded parties in the System for Award Management (SAM) and make additional disclosures if they will provide covered telecommunications equipment/services. These disclosures must include detailed descriptions of the equipment/services, explanation of proposed use, entity information for service providers (including CAGE codes), and manufacturer details for equipment. The provision implements Section 1656 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 which prohibits agencies from procuring certain telecommunications equipment and services that could pose security risks.
