Abstract: This clearance covers the information that offerors/contractors must submit to comply with the following interim Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements: a. FAR 52.204-29, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders-Representation and Disclosures. This provision prohibits contractors from providing or using as part of the performance of the contract any covered article, or any products or services produced or provided by a source, if the covered article or the source is subject to an applicable FASCSA order identified in the clause at FAR 52.204-30(b)(1). By submitting an offer, offerors are representing compliance with the prohibition. If an offeror cannot represent compliance with the prohibition, then the offeror must disclose the following information in accordance with 52.204-29(e): (1) Name of the product or service provided to the Government; (2) Name of the covered article or source subject to an FASCA order; (3) If applicable, name of the vendor, including the Commercial and Government Entity code and unique entity identifier (if known), that supplied the covered article or the product or service to the Offeror; (4) Brand; (5) Model number (original equipment manufacturer number, manufacturer part number, or wholesaler number); (6) Item description; (7) Reason why the applicable covered article or the product or service is being provided; b. FAR 52.204-30, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders-Prohibition. This clause requires contractors to provide a report to the Government within 3 business days if the contractor identifies that the contractor or any-tier subcontractor, delivered or used a covered article or product or service subject to a FASCSA order. The report requires the following information: (A) Contract number; (B) Order number(s), if applicable; (C) Name of the product or service provided to the Government; (D) Name of the covered article or source subject to a FASCSA order; (E) If applicable, name of the vendor, including the Commercial and Government Entity code and unique entity identifier (if known), that supplied the covered article or the product or service to the Contractor; (F) Brand; (G) Model number (original equipment manufacturer number, manufacturer part number, or wholesaler number); (H) Item description; and (I) Any readily available information about mitigation actions undertaken or recommended. The contractor must also submit additional information within 10 days of submitting the first report identifying any further available information about mitigation actions undertaken or recommended. Additionally, the contractor shall describe the efforts it undertook to prevent submission and any additional efforts to prevent future submission of the covered article or the product or service produced or provided by a source subject to an applicable FASCSA order.

Emergency Justfication: The collection of information is needed prior to the expiration of time periods normally associated with a routine submission for review under the provisions of the PRA, because agencies subject to the FAR would not have a mechanism to implement any FASCSA orders. The collection of information is essential to the mission of the agencies to protect the Government supply chain from vulnerabilities posed by acquiring products or services that violate a FASCSA order issued under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018 and the final rule issued by the FASC. Moreover, DoD, GSA, and NASA cannot comply with the normal clearance procedures because public harm is reasonably likely to result if current clearance procedures are followed. Authorizing collection of this information will ensure that agencies have a mechanism to implement FASCSA orders and address vulnerabilities in supply chains that can enable data and intellectual property theft, loss of confidence in integrity, or exploitation that may cause system and network failure.
