889(a)(1)(B) of the John S. McCain National

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year

(FY) 2019 (Pub. L. 115–232) as implemented through FAR 52.204-24 and FAR 52.204-25 of this solicitation.

(b) Waivers.

(1) The submission of an offer where the Offeror makes a representation at paragraph (d)(2) of the provision at FAR 52.204–24 that it “does” use covered telecommunications equipment or services will mean the Offeror is seeking a waiver.

As part of the disclosure requirements under the provision FAR 52.204–24 submitted as part of the offer, the Offeror/Contractor must describe the circumstances (including in-country circumstances) where the Offeror/Contractor uses covered technology. This must include an identification of whether the covered technology is provided by communications service-providers, such as internet, cell phone, landline or others;

the specific country where it is used; and a description of the presence of any other covered technology, whether it be in any internal systems or elsewhere in the supply chain.

(2) USAID does not guarantee that waiver requests from such an offeror will be considered;

USAID may make an award to an offeror that does not require a waiver. Where agency needs do not permit time to obtain a waiver, USAID may move forward and make an award to an offeror that does not require a waiver. Per FAR 4.21, USAID will not make an award to an offeror(s) that does not receive the approved waiver.

(3) Where USAID decides to initiate the formal

Agency waiver process:

(i) The CO will require the apparently successful offeror(s) to submit the information in paragraph (4) of this section. Alternately, offerors may provide the information with their initial proposal, at their discretion. Offerors must appropriately mark the appropriate portions of their submission as Proprietary Data where applicable.
