Primary sources for this brief

Open “Acquisition.gov DFARS” on its official government website and review the complete document.

Key takeaways

Treat the linked primary source—not an older article summary—as the controlling reference.
Compare the source with the current solicitation, contract, amendments, and agency instructions that apply to your work.
Record the source URL and access date used for an internal compliance or capture decision.
Ask the contracting officer or qualified counsel when the controlling language is unclear.

Editorial note

This page was rebuilt as a primary-source brief. Unsupported deadlines, penalties, award claims, quotations, company outcomes, and reviewer identities from the legacy version were not carried forward.

Legacy topic record

The prior version used the topic label “Can DoD Contractors Still Use Consultants Tied to Blacklisted Chinese Companies in 2026?.” That wording is retained only to identify the corrected page; it is not presented as a verified factual premise.
