This clause should not be adopted and incorporated into the FAR. By its own text, it is not prescriptive and does not mandate that contractors perform any action. It does not include any enforcement language that requires or allows the government to evaluate contractor's differently based upon the presence, absence, or enforcement of a policy banning text messaging. As a result, it has no legal effect and is wholly inappropriate for inclusion into what is, at its core, a legal document. Unless and until the clause is made prescriptive and given practical effect it should not be included.
