The General Services Administration (GSA) – in partnership with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) – has joined the Department of Defense (DoD) in developing tools to assist card/account holders with finding Section 889 representations.

Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019 ([P.L. 115-232 [PDF, 789 pages]](https://www.congress.gov/115/plaws/publ232/PLAW-115publ232.pdf)) and the [Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Case 2018-017](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/08/13/2019-17201/federal-acquisition-regulation-prohibition-on-contracting-for-certain-telecommunications-and-video) prohibit the purchase of covered telecommunications equipment and services from vendors who sell products containing spyware. These devices could pose a threat to U.S. security by spying on or disrupting communications within the U.S.

- Contracts that are For Official Use Only (FOUO) or classified, and contractors that do not wish for their information to be publicly available, will not show up in search results.

- This tool is a robotic process automation (RPA) capability developed by DoD’s Defense Pricing and Contracting (DPC).
- To learn a vendor’s 889 information, users email [info@section889request.com](mailto:info@section889request.com) with the vendor’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code or Unique Entity ID (UEI) in the subject line. Please note that:
- The CAAMP Bot, formerly known as the Section 889 Request Bot, is a robotic process automation (RPA) capability developed by DoD’s Defense Pricing, Contracting, and Acquisition Policy (DPCAP).
- To obtain a vendor’s 889 representation and other vendor details, email [osd.section889request@mail.mil](mailto:osd.section889request@mail.mil) with the vendor’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code or Unique Entity ID (UEI) in the subject line. Please note that:

- After sending a request, users will generally receive an email response from [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) within five minutes.
- The email response identifies if the vendor is registered in SAM, if they have completed the representations required by the [FAR 52.204-26](https://www.acquisition.gov/far/52.204-26) provision and what responses were provided.
