Compliance
Security equipment compliance
What federal procurement law actually says about cameras, intercoms and the rest of a security system, read from the statute rather than from a datasheet. No page here will tell you a product is certified compliant, because nobody issues that certification.
In this section
Four pages
NDAA compliant security cameras: Section 889 explained
Section 889 end to end: what it prohibits, who it binds, and how to verify a camera.
What is NDAA Section 889?
The statute itself: Part A, Part B, the named entities and when each part took effect.
NDAA compliant intercom systems
Why door stations get missed in Section 889 audits, and how to specify compliant entry.
TAA compliant security cameras
How the Trade Agreements Act differs from Section 889, and why a camera can pass one and fail the other.
Before you rely on them
What these pages will and will not do
Each page cites the text it relies on, whether that is the statute, a regulation or a government source, so you can check it yourself instead of taking our reading on trust. Where a page says something about a named manufacturer, the statement carries the date it was verified, because ownership changes and status changes with it.
None of them will tell you a product is compliant. No body issues that determination, and the phrase does not appear in the statute. What the pages do is set out the tests, so that the question you put to a manufacturer, in writing, is the right one.
The working versions live elsewhere. The Section 889 checker walks the Part A and Part B tests against your own contracting position, and a printable Section 889 checklist is free under resources. This material is the reference behind our work for government and defense facilities. It is not legal advice; compliance is a question for your counsel.
