91--GAS OIL,MARINE

This contract amendment pertains to Solicitation SPE608-25-R-0200, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, and was formally released on July 3, 2025. The primary purpose of this amendment is to incorporate two new Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses—252.225-7966 and 252.225-7967—reflecting recent legislative and policy directives aimed at restricting dealings with Russian fossil fuel entities. These clauses establish strict prohibitions against engaging in business operations or subcontracting with entities that are significantly owned or controlled by Russian authorities or fossil fuel companies operating within Russia, unless specific exceptions apply, such as transportation of energy products through Russia for export outside of Russia or activities compliant with sanctions and price caps. The clauses define key terms such as "business operations" and "fossil fuel company," and outline the scope of prohibitions, including engaging in activities like exploration, development, production, refining, or transportation related to Russian oil, gas, or coal. Contractors are required to represent their compliance upon submission of offers and to incorporate these provisions into all subcontracts and contractual instruments. The amendment emphasizes adherence to sanctions and restrictions enacted under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, with an effective period extending through December 31, 2029. Aside from the addition of these clauses, all other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged, ensuring continuity in the procurement process while aligning it with current national security policies.
