The clause prohibits agencies from procuring covered telecommunications equipment or services from certain foreign entities as a substantial or essential component of any system. Covered equipment and services include those produced or provided by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation, as well as video surveillance and telecommunications equipment from Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company, or Dahua Technology Company. The prohibition applies to direct procurements as well as contracts that extend or renew the ability to procure such equipment and services. Exceptions are provided if no alternative equipment or service is available to meet agency requirements or if a waiver is granted.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command for a dry cargo voyage charter. No further details are provided about requirements, pricing, response dates or other terms for that opportunity in this document.

Backhaul means intermediate links between the core network, or backbone network, and the small subnetworks at the edge of the network (e.g., connecting cell phones/towers to the core telephone network). Backhaul can be wireless (e.g., microwave) or wired (e.g., fiber optic, coaxial cable, Ethernet).
Interconnection arrangements means arrangements governing the physical connection of two or more networks to allow the use of another's network to hand off traffic where it is ultimately delivered (e.g., connection of a customer of telephone provider A to a customer of telephone company B) or sharing data and other information resources.
Reasonable inquiry means an inquiry designed to uncover any information in the entity's possession about the identity of the producer or provider of covered telecommunications equipment or services used by the entity that excludes the need to include an internal or third-party audit.
Roaming means cellular communications services (e.g., voice, video, data) received from a visited network when unable to connect to the facilities of the home network either because signal coverage is too weak or because traffic is too high.
