Why 'it's an Axis, it's fine' isn't enough
A brand-level claim doesn't satisfy a contracting officer. Section 889 (who made it) and TAA (where it was made) are two different tests, and origin can vary by production lot. The CO needs SKU-level proof for both.
The documentation set
For each part number we provide:
- Section 889 / FAR 52.204-25 statement — confirming the item is not from a covered entity
- Country of origin — for the TAA test, with the designated-country basis
- Manufacturer attestation — where the OEM publishes one
- A BOM-level matrix — so the whole order is verifiable at a glance
Tie it to the clause
Map the documentation to the clauses in the solicitation — usually FAR 52.204-25 and the 52.204-26 representation, plus TAA where GSA terms apply. A CO can accept a package faster when it answers the exact clause.
Don't forget Part B
Section 889 Part B is about use, not just purchase. If your organization has covered gear installed elsewhere, an assessment + remediation record is part of staying eligible. Read the NDAA 889 explainer or request a documented quote.
