# Federal Agencies Enforce NDAA Security Camera Compliance

Federal procurement professionals must ensure security camera acquisitions comply with NDAA Section 889 and 2026 FCC restrictions to avoid prohibited equipment from restricted manufacturers. The emphasis is on comprehensive system-level verification beyond individual devices to meet federal contracting and grant requirements. This compliance landscape affects procurement planning, vendor selection, and contract documentation for security and surveillance systems.

- Agencies and contractors should prioritize sourcing from NDAA-compliant manufacturers such as Axis Communications, Hanwha Vision, Avigilon, Verkada, and i-PRO to mitigate risk of non-compliance.
- Thorough documentation and verification processes are critical to satisfy Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) mandates and FCC import and marketing restrictions effective in 2026.
- Procurement teams should integrate compliance checks into acquisition workflows to ensure eligibility for federal funding and avoid contract disqualification.
- Organizations operating in Texas, including Austin, should be aware of these federal requirements as they impact local government and public-sector security procurements.
