FAR 52.204-25 — The Clause That Puts Section 889 in Your Contract
FAR 52.204-25 is the Federal Acquisition Regulation clause that implements NDAA Section 889. When it appears in a contract, the contractor represents and warrants that it will not provide or use covered telecommunications or video surveillance equipment, and must report any covered equipment discovered during performance.
What it obligates
The clause flows the Section 889 prohibition down into the contract itself. It typically pairs with representation 52.204-26, where the offeror states whether it provides or uses covered equipment. A 'yes' — or an undocumented BOM — is what stalls awards.
What we hand the contracting officer
We provide a model-line-level compliance statement per SKU, with country-of-origin records (for the paired TAA requirement) and manufacturer attestations where available. The goal is a package the CO can accept without a back-and-forth.
- 52.204-25 puts the Section 889 ban inside the contract; 52.204-26 is the representation.
- An undocumented BOM is the usual cause of award delay.
- We deliver per-SKU compliance + origin documentation, audit-ready.
