Before awarding a contract to an offeror for the procurement of a covered device, or renewing a contract to procure or obtain a covered device from a contractor, the agency Chief Information Officer shall determine if such offeror or contractor has complied with each standard promulgated under section 6(c) with respect to such covered device. Notwithstanding section 1905 of title 41, United States Code, the requirements under subparagraph
(A)shall apply to a contract or subcontract in amounts not greater than the simplified acquisition threshold. The head of an agency may not procure or obtain, or renew a contract to procure or obtain, a covered device if the agency Chief Information Officer determines under paragraph (1)(A) that such offeror or contractor has not complied with a standard promulgated under section 6(c) with respect to such covered device. The head of an agency may waive the prohibition under subsection (a)(2) if the procurement of such covered device is necessary for national security or for research purposes. The prohibition under subsection
(a)shall take effect one year after the date of the enactment of this Act.
