Prohibited Chinese Products Certification

The contract requires contractors to certify and report on the use of prohibited Chinese telecommunications products as mandated by DFARS 252.225-7042, ensuring compliance with federal restrictions on equipment sourced from specific Chinese vendors. This subcontract pertains to the acquisition of goods or services where the inclusion of covered telecommunications equipment or services from entities such as Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, and Dahua Technology is strictly prohibited. All offerors must provide a formal certification attesting to their adherence to these regulations, confirming that neither their offerings nor their supply chains incorporate any forbidden products. The solicitation is open for responses until August 3, 2026, and is administered by the ASC Commodities Division under the Department of Defense. The NAICS code 561499 indicates the contract relates to other support services, suggesting the requirement may extend to logistics, maintenance, or ancillary services where telecommunications equipment could be integrated. Compliance is mandatory, and failure to provide the required certification may result in disqualification. The contract is posted on the DIBBS portal, and no set-aside provisions are specified, meaning it is open to all eligible subcontractors regardless of business size or status.
