In plain English

FAR 52.230-7, Proposal Disclosure-Cost Accounting Practice Changes, is a solicitation provision prescribed at FAR 30.201-3(c), most recently dated Apr 2005. The complete official text is reproduced below, verbatim, from GSA's published FAR source files.

Its text contains no sentence requiring insertion into subcontracts; see the flowdown section below for what that does and does not mean.

Does it flow down to subcontracts?

No flowdown mandate found in the clause text

This is a solicitation provision — it applies to offerors when submitting an offer, not to contract performance, so subcontract flowdown is generally not the operative question for it.
