Compliance with FAR 52.204-24 (No Covered Telecommunications Equipment)

The contractor must certify that the vehicle supplied under this subcontract contains no covered telecommunications equipment or services as prohibited by Section 889 of the National Defense Authorization Act. This requirement is enforced through compliance with FAR 52.204-24, which mandates a written representation confirming the absence of equipment or services from specified foreign adversaries, including but not limited to Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua. The certification must be accurate, binding, and submitted by the deadline, as false representations may result in contract termination, financial penalties, or debarment. The vehicle must be fully compliant at the time of delivery, and the contractor assumes full responsibility for ensuring all components, whether installed at the factory or added subsequently, meet this standard. This subcontract is issued by the U.S. Embassy London under the Department of State, with a NAICS code of 541611 indicating the scope relates to management consulting services, though the deliverable is a physical vehicle certified for compliance. The response deadline is May 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, and the contract type is classified as a subcontract, meaning the offering party is providing goods or services under a prime contract held by another entity. There is no set-aside designation, and performance location details are unspecified, but compliance obligations apply regardless of where the vehicle is ultimately deployed. Full documentation of compliance must be preserved and made available upon request by the U.S. government to verify adherence to national security procurement requirements.
