7.3 Non-Restrictive Specifications. References in the design specifications of this SOW and each TO’s SOW to equipment, material, articles, or patented processes by trade name, make, or catalog number shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality and shall not be construed as limiting competition. The Contractor may, at its option, use any equipment, material, article, or process that, in the judgment of the CO, is equal or exceeds the requirement of these specifications, unless otherwise specifically provided in this SOW or individual TO SOW.

7.4 Prohibited Materials. The Contractor shall certify that products do not contain mercury, hexavalent chromium, toluene, chlorinated solvents, hydrolysable chlorine derivatives, ethylene-based glycol ethers and their acetates, nor any carcinogen.
