This information collection supports implementation of Section 1634 of Division A of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91). This section prohibits Government use of any hardware, software, or services developed or provided, in whole or in part, by Kaspersky Lab or related entities. This requirement is implemented in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) through the clause at FAR 52.204-YY, Prohibition on Contracting for Hardware, Software, and Services Developed or Provided by Kaspersky Lab and Other Covered Entities.
Due to FAR Case 2018-010; Use of Products and Services of Kaspersky Lab, Interim rule, a new information collection number is being requested. This rule is being implemented as a national security measure to protect Government information and information systems. There are concerns that unless the rule is moved very quickly, end of fiscal year orders could be placed with Kaspersky. Therefore, it is necessary to assist the acquisition community with complying with the requirement. Although this prohibition does not apply until October 1, 2018, agencies and contractors must begin to take steps immediately to meet this deadline.
