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.

    • No business operations with an authority of the Maduro regime or a government of Venezuela the United States does not recognize, unless you hold a valid license to operate in Venezuela issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control

      DFARS 252.225-7056(c)

When it is used

DoD contracts (section 890 of the FY2020 NDAA; prescription 225.7020-5(b)), including FAR part 12. The clause itself carries no dollar threshold; any threshold in the prescription is (unconfirmed). The test is who the company does business with, not the subject of the supply.

Read closely

Paragraph (b) is a prohibition on the Department of Defense rather than on you, and paragraph (d) carries the substance, including itself, into all subcontracts including those for commercial products, with no threshold. Nothing is submitted, certified or reported under this clause: the test is who the company does business with rather than what is being supplied, and for most shops the whole of it is one internal verification on file.
