Contractors must adhere to CAGE code reporting, avoid prohibited telecommunications equipment, and ensure alignment with Executive Orders 14168 and 14173, where compliance is material to payment. All terms and conditions of FAR clauses, including accelerated payments to small business subcontractors and service contract labor standards, are binding upon award.
