In compliance with 2 C.F.R. 200.214, recipients are prohibited from entering into a contract or using federal funds to procure items from certain parties who are debarred, suspended or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in federal assistance programs or activities. In addition, a prohibition on certain telecommunication and video surveillance services or equipment went into effect on August 13, 2020. In accordance with these requirements set out in 2 C.F.R. 200.216, recipients of FDLE awards are prohibited from obligating or expending grants to:

  1. Procure or obtain;
  2. Extend or renew a contract or procure or obtain;

Enter into a contract to procure or obtain equipment, services, or systems that use telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system, produced by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or a subsidiary or affiliate of such entities). 

Prior to obligating grant funds, recipients must determine if their selected vendor or party is excluded (a.k.a. suspended or debarred) from receiving federal funds. The recipient should refer to the System for Award Management (SAM) website to search for exclusion records.
