This document is a federal contract provision (252.225-7055) titled "Representation Regarding Business Operations with the Maduro Regime" from May 2022. The provision prohibits the Department of Defense (DoD) from entering into contracts with any person or entity that has business operations with an authority of the Venezuelan government not recognized as legitimate by the U.S. Government, as outlined in section 890 of 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 that is not recognized as legitimate, and must have 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 part of the solicitation process for potential contractors seeking to do business with the DoD.
