What it makes you produce

One item for your checklist.

  1. Something you fill in and send back

    Hours, once you know which one is missing.

    • A report — contract number, product or service name, the covered article or the source, the vendor, brand, model number and item description — with mitigation detail and prevention steps within 10 business days after it

      Owed when you identify a covered article or a prohibited source in what you furnish or will furnish — the first report is due within three business days of that

      FAR 52.204-30(c)(3)

When it is used

Prescribed broadly (4.2306(c)) — appears in practically every contract, including commercial, with no threshold. Unlike its sisters 52.204-23/-25 (fixed Kaspersky/Huawei bans), here the list of prohibited sources is DYNAMIC: it is the FASCSA orders published in SAM, which change without the clause changing.

Read closely

Paragraph (b) is the prohibition and paragraph (d) is removal on notice; neither produces paper. The quarterly review of SAM at paragraph (c)(1) stays with the prime and is excluded from what paragraph (e) carries into subcontracts and other instruments, commercial ones included. Unlike the fixed Kaspersky and telecommunications bans, the list of prohibited sources here is dynamic: it is the supply chain orders published in SAM, and their content changes without the clause changing.

Alternates

  • Alt I · DEC 2023

    FAR 4.2306(c) — the CO identifies applicable FASCSA orders in the solicitation.

    Alternate I substitutes paragraph (b)(1) so the contracting officer checks yes or no for each order source — Homeland Security, Defense, National Intelligence — instead of applicability following the awarding agency. It changes which orders you check against, not the report you file or the removal you owe.

  • Alt II · DEC 2023

    FAR 4.2306(c)(2)(ii) — per order under an indefinite-delivery contract.

    Alternate II rewrites all of paragraph (b) for use order by order under an indefinite-delivery contract, with the applicable orders named in the request for quotation or the notice of intent to place an order; the report and the removal duty are the parent's, unchanged.

This is research, not legal advice. It states what the regulation says about this clause and cites the paragraph behind it. It does not rule on your order, and it does not rule on whether a prime's markings are correct.
