DFARS 252.225-7967 Prohibition Regarding Russian Fossil Fuel Business Operations (Deviation 2024-O0006, Revision 1)
Does the regulation require it to flow down?
Yes
Paragraph (c): 'The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in all subcontracts and other contractual instruments, including those for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services.' No dollar floor, no commercial exception, no COTS exception at the subcontract level — the only unconditional flow-down mandate in this batch alongside 252.225-7972.

DFARS 252.225-7967
When it is used
Not a codified DFARS clause. Prescribed by DoD Class Deviation 2024-O0006, Revision 1 (issued 2024-03-05, superseding 2024-O0006 of 2024-02-06), which directs contracting officers to use it in solicitations and contracts, including those using FAR part 12 procedures for commercial products and commercial services, VALUED ABOVE THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD ($350k since 2025-10-01). It implements section 804 of the FY2024 NDAA (Pub. L. 118-31). Excepted are contracts jointly determined by the Secretaries of Defense and State to be necessary for humanitarian assistance to the people of Russia, disaster relief and other urgent lifesaving measures, or vital to US national security interests; pre-existing business operations with a fossil fuel company outside Russia; operation and maintenance of US consular offices and diplomatic posts in Russia; and operations licensed by OFAC or otherwise authorized. The above-SAT threshold governs the PRIME contract; the subcontracts paragraph carries no dollar floor.
Read closely
This row cites the clause number alone: the text exists only in the attachment to DoD Class Deviation 2024-O0006, Revision 1, which is not published on acquisition.gov, so the paragraph carrying the prohibition was not read. What was read is the flow-down paragraph (c), which carries the substance, including itself, into every subcontract and other instrument at any value, commercial ones included, while the clause reaches a prime contract only above $350,000. The knowledge standard is what ownership diligence has to answer to, and no paragraph of the deviation text quoted anywhere in this entry asks for a report or a certificate. Fossil fuel company is broad: exploring, developing or producing oil, gas or coal, processing or refining it, transporting Russian oil, gas or coal, or building the facilities that transport it. The carve-outs for price-capped shipments, actions benefiting Ukraine and wind-down activity through 2029-12-31 are narrow.

This is research, not legal advice. It states what the regulation says about this clause and cites the paragraph behind it. It does not rule on your order, and it does not rule on whether a prime's markings are correct.
