About this file

This document contains three federal acquisition provisions related to supply chain security and procurement restrictions. The first provision, 52.204-29, requires offerors to search the System for Award Management (SAM) for any Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) orders that prohibit the use of specific covered articles or products from certain sources. Offerors must conduct a reasonable inquiry and disclose any potential compliance issues, allowing the government to determine whether to issue a waiver.

The subsequent two provisions impose specific procurement restrictions: DFARS 252.225-7059 prohibits procuring products mined, produced, or manufactured using forced labor from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), and DFARS 252.225-7966 restricts business operations with entities owned or operated by Russian government authorities or fossil fuel companies in the Russian Federation. Both provisions require offerors to represent that they have made good faith efforts to avoid prohibited sources and will not use such products or engage in restricted business operations in contract performance.
