Appendix A.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) prohibits U.S. government agencies from purchasing or using telecommunications, video surveillance services, or equipment from certain foreign technology vendors. These vendors include:

Huawei Technologies ZTE Corporation Hytera Communications Corporation Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company Dahua Technology Company; and all subsidiaries.

Technologies provided by these vendors have been categorized by multiple authorities as an unacceptable supply chain risk. The Department of the Interior (DOI) Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) has developed this policy in coordination with the DOI Office of Acquisition and Property Management (PAM) to prohibit acquisition of the banned products. Requirements of NDAA Section 889 will be considered during the planning phase and included as appropriate in the final technical specifications. All proposed telecommunication and video surveillance equipment will be evaluated during the solicitation phase to ensure all proposed equipment and technical specifications are in affirmative compliance with Section 889 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to be eligible for award.

Directive Requirements:

Devices manufactured by prohibited foreign technology vendors identified in the NDAA must be removed from the DOI Enterprise to include any associated security and surveillance systems that collect or process any DOI data. The procurement and use of telecommunications equipment produced by these foreign technology vendors is prohibited. Internet domains known to be operated by these vendors will be blocked at the DOI Network perimeter.

The Prohibition On Use Or Procurement under Section 889 subsection (a)(1)(A) shall take effect one year after the date of the enactment of this Act. The Act became Public Law No: 115-232 on 08/13/2018. All Bureaus and Offices are required to identify and remove devices that have been identified as prohibited foreign technology vendors by 08/13/2019.
