This bill prohibits the federal government from awarding consulting services contracts to any entity that provides consulting services to covered foreign entities.

Foreign entities covered by the bill include

  • the government of China, the Chinese Communist Party, the People's Liberation Army, or any Chinese security service or intelligence agency;
  • the government of Russia or any entity sanctioned under Executive Order 13662;
  • the government of any country determined by the Department of State to have repeatedly provided support for international terrorism; and
  • any entity on certain lists maintained by the Department of Commerce, such as the Denied Persons List or the Military End User List.

    An agency may waive the prohibition on a case-by-case basis if it is in the national security interests of the United States and no other entity without a conflict of interest can perform the work.
