Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "Attachment 2: New AMS clause 3.8.9-8", introduces a new clause that must be incorporated into all new System for Award Management (SAM) Procurement clauses (SIRs) and contracts. It also applies to existing contracts before exercising an option or extending the period of performance.

• Clause Title: 3.8.9-8 Prohibition on Procurement or Operation of Covered Unmanned Aircraft Systems (INTERIM December 2025).
• Definitions: Defines key terms such as "Counter-UAS system," "Covered Foreign Country" (including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and others determined by the Secretary of Transportation), "Covered Foreign Entity" (entities on FASC list, Commerce's Entity List, or under control of a covered foreign country), and "Covered Unmanned Aircraft System."
• Prohibition: Contractors are prohibited from delivering or operating a covered unmanned aircraft system during contract performance.
• Procedures: Requires contractors to conduct due diligence to verify if an unmanned aircraft system is a "covered unmanned aircraft system," including searching SAM.gov for the FASC list of covered foreign entities. Any expenditure must be consistent with stated exemptions or waivers.
• Exemptions and Waivers: Notes that prohibitions do not apply if the FAA has determined an exemption or waiver applies and the contract indicates this.
• Subcontracts: Mandates that the substance of this clause be included in all subcontracts and other contractual instruments.

Bidders must be aware of this clause and its implications. It restricts the use and procurement of certain unmanned aircraft systems, particularly those manufactured or assembled by entities from "covered foreign countries" or designated "covered foreign entities." Contractors must perform due diligence and ensure compliance, including checking SAM.gov, and must flow this requirement down to subcontractors. Failure to comply could impact proposal submission or contract performance.
