More GSA Guidance on Section 889’s Prohibition on Contracting with Entities Using Certain Telecommunications Equipment and Services

Federal agencies, particularly the General Services Administration, continue to publish guidance relating to the prohibitions of Section 889 of the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, which prohibits the federal government from obtaining, and federal contractors from using, certain telecommunications equipment and services offered by Chinese companies, such as Huawei and ZTE. More recently, GSA published a series of resources for federal contractors, including webinar slides and an updated Frequently Asked Questions guide to provide details regarding GSA’s implementation of Section 889.
