What it makes you produce

One item for your checklist.

  1. Nothing to send, ever

    There is no paperwork here. It is a rule you follow while you perform the work.

    • Keeping items on the United States Munitions List and the 600 series of the Commerce Control List clear of any Communist Chinese military company in the chain, directly or indirectly

      DFARS 252.225-7007(b)

When it is used

Goes into any contract — including commercial FAR Part 12 — involving delivery of items on the United States Munitions List or the 600 series of the Commerce Control List, except the 225.770-3 exceptions (US vessel/aircraft visit to China, testing, intelligence collection). No dollar threshold. Flows down into every subcontract for those items.

Read closely

The clause runs definitions, prohibition and flow-down, and asks for no report, no certificate and no notice; paragraph (c) carries the substance, including itself, into all subcontracts for items covered by that list or that series, with no dollar floor and no commercial exception. Origin diligence on any Chinese link in the controlled item's chain is what the prohibition rests on. Where nothing you deliver is on the list or in the series, there is no covered item for it to reach.
