DFARS 252.225-7055.pdf

This document is a DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) provision, specifically 252.225-7055, addressing business operations with the Maduro regime in Venezuela. The provision prohibits the Department of Defense (DoD) from entering into contracts with entities that have business operations with the Venezuelan government not recognized as legitimate by the U.S. government, as mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020.

The provision requires offerors to represent that they do not have business operations with the Maduro regime or the Venezuelan government unrecognized by the U.S., or alternatively, that they possess a valid license to operate in Venezuela issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury. This representation is a mandatory requirement for potential contractors seeking to engage in DoD procurement activities involving products or services related to Venezuela.
