Federal civilian agencies and their suppliers cannot deploy or retain DeepSeek products or third-party services built on them in government IT systems.

Federal civilian agencies using DeepSeek models or services must stop and switch to alternatives.

Vendors serving US federal agencies must audit and remove DeepSeek technology or derivative components integrated in their products.- Third-party services built on DeepSeek (fine-tuned, distilled, or packaged) are also covered; companies with US government business need to plan model replacement.- Chinese AI models face tighter access to the US federal market; DeepSeek-dependent go-to-market strategies need reassessment.

Companies selling to US federal agencies or their suppliers must verify their tech stack contains no DeepSeek or derivative models.

Vendors and integrators in federal civilian supply chains must identify and replace products built on DeepSeek.- Companies building on Chinese open-source models face procurement restrictions when targeting US government customers.- Tightening two-way controls between the US and China raises compliance scrutiny for Chinese AI firms operating in the US and vendors with ASEAN footprints.

Companies selling to US federal agencies must confirm their supply chains contain no DeepSeek components or risk losing procurement eligibility

Companies selling to the U.S. government or federal contracting ecosystem must audit and remove components based on DeepSeek implementations or face contract compliance risk.- Third-party vendors fine-tuning or building on DeepSeek models are explicitly covered; derivative implementations cannot be used for federal work.- Firms in the China-U.S. AI supply chain must assess U.S. market access restrictions and adjust their tech stack to meet procurement requirements.

Federal software vendors must audit which open-weight models are embedded in products sold to civilian agencies and demonstrate supply chain compliance to keep contracts
