FAR 52.204-24
Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment
FAR 52.204-24 is the offeror representation supporting Section 889: the offeror must state whether it does or does not provide, and whether it does or does not use, covered telecommunications or video-surveillance equipment or services. It pairs with the prohibition in FAR 52.204-25.
What it is
A solicitation representation. The offeror answers, for both Part A and Part B of Section 889, whether covered equipment or services are involved, so the government can evaluate the offer against the prohibition.
Why it exists
It gives the government the disclosure it needs to enforce FAR 52.204-25 at the time of award.
Who it applies to
Offerors on solicitations that include the provision.
Compliance triggers
Conduct a reasonable inquiry into your systems and supply chain; complete the representation accurately; and if covered items are identified, provide the required additional disclosure.
