DFARS 252.225-7053 Representation Regarding Prohibition on Use of Certain Energy Sourced from Inside the Russian Federation.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This DFARS provision requires offerors to represent that they will not use energy sourced from inside the Russian Federation to generate furnished energy for a covered military installation in Europe. It matters because contracts for furnished energy at these installations cannot rely on Russian-sourced energy unless a waiver is approved.

Applies to: Offerors responding to solicitations for furnished energy at covered military installations in Europe

What it requires

  • By submitting an offer, represent that you will not use or provide energy sourced from inside the Russian Federation to generate furnished energy for the covered military installation
  • Comply with this representation in any resulting contract, subcontract, or other contractual instrument
