These official files may contain information that is considered a trade secret, proprietary, business sensitive or otherwise protected pursuant to law or regulation, hereinafter referred to as “protected information”. File room management services consist of any of the following: secretarial or clerical support; data entry; document reproduction, scanning, imaging, or destruction; operation, management, or maintenance of paper-based or electronic mail rooms, file rooms, or libraries; and supervision in connection with functions listed herein.

(b) The cognizant Contracting Officer will ensure that any NAVSEA contract under which these file room management services are acquired will contain a requirement that:

(1) The support contractor not disclose any information;

(2) Individual employees are to be instructed by the support contractor regarding the sensitivity of the official contract files;

C-211-H018 APPROVAL BY THE GOVERNMENT (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019)

Approval by the Government as required under this contract and applicable specifications shall not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to comply with the specifications and with all other requirements of the contract, nor shall it impose upon the Government any liability it would not have had in the absence of such approval.

C-223-H003 EXCLUSION OF MERCURY (NAVSEA) (MAR 2019)

(A) DEFINITIONS. AS USED IN THIS TEXT:

Article means a manufactured item other than a fluid or particle: (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture; (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of use does not release more than very small quantities, e.g., minute or trace amounts of a hazardous chemical, and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees.

Boundary of containment means a continuous tight seal (barrier) to prevent the release of functional mercury during normal operation and maintenance. Examples include the exterior of a fluorescent lamp, glass capsule of a mercury switch, and container for mercury reagents. A double boundary of containment consists of two independent seals.

Functional mercury means mercury or mercury compound(s) contained in equipment that is required for the equipment to operate properly, such as that found in mercury switches, fluorescent lamps, flat-panel monitors, thermostats, thermostat probes, small coin type batteries, barometers, and dental amalgams.

Hardware means any article, container, piece of material, individual part, subassembly, assembly, component, or system to which mercury control requirements apply.

Mercury-free means hardware that does not contain functional mercury and is not contaminated by mercury or mercury compounds.

Portable means items that are frequently transported during normal operation. Desk lamps, shop lights, and hand-held instruments are considered portable, while bulbs in stationary light fixtures are not. In general, items that require transport only during maintenance, installation, and removal of the items are not considered portable.

(b) the contractor, and all subcontractors and vendors, shall ensure that mercury or mercury containing compounds are not intentionally added to, or come in direct contact with, hardware or supplies furnished under this contract.

(1) the contractor shall ensure that mercury and mercury compounds are not taken onboard naval vessels by contractor, subcontractor, or vendor personnel except for functional mercury used in batteries, dental amalgams, fluorescent lamps, flat-panel monitors, required instruments, sensors or controls, weapon systems, and chemical analysis reagents specified by the naval sea systems command (navsea).

(2) portable fluorescent lamps and portable instruments containing elemental mercury must be shock-proof in accordance with mil-dtl-901e entitled requirements for shock tests, h.i. (high impact) shipboard machinery, equipment, and systems and have mercury enclosed by a double boundary of containment. Some devices with liquid crystal display (lcd) screens utilize a fluorescent bulb backlight to illuminate the lcd screen. No additional restrictions or controls apply to devices with lcd screens; however, the contractor shall remove the lcd screen and seal it in plastic following any evidence that the backlight failed.

(3) for submarines, any use of mercury containing items must be approved as required by the nuclear powered submarine atmosphere control manual (s9510-ab-atm-010/u) volume 1.

(4) the contractor shall ensure that mercury and mercury compounds do not contact hardware surfaces in systems covered by navsea manual navsea 0989-064-3000 entitled cleanliness requirements for nuclear propulsion plant maintenance and construction, submarine air systems, level i systems per navsea publication 0948-lp-045-7010, navsea material control standard, or the submarine safety program (subsafe) surfaces during maintenance or repair.

Such hardware is designated as mercury-free. The contractor shall ensure that all other hardware that could be structurally degraded by contamination with elemental mercury or reactive mercury compounds is separated from it by sufficient distance, or boundaries of containment that effectively prevents contact in all but the most extreme circumstances.

(5) the contractor shall check any hardware surfaces in the above systems which are known or suspected to have come in contact with mercury or mercury compounds for evidence of structural degradation and external mercury contamination. The existence of external mercury contamination can be determined following mil-std-2041d entitled control of detrimental materials.

(6) the presence of mercury in a product may be determined by checking product labeling on material safety data sheets or safety data sheets. Chemical analysis is not required.

(7) the contractor shall dispose of any mercury and mercury compounds in accordance with opnav manual (opnav m-5090.1) entitled environmental readiness program manual of 10 january 2014.

(8) if the use of mercury or mercury compounds cannot be avoided, a risk assessment and waiver request, if required, must be performed and submitted per the navsea hazardous material avoidance process (t9070-al-dpc- 020/077-2). For systems covered by the navsea manual navsea 0989-064-3000 entitled cleanliness requirements for nuclear propulsion plant maintenance and construction, submit the risk assessment and waiver request, if required to nuclear propulsion (navsea 08).

(c) in all cases where mercury or a mercury compound has contacted hardware surfaces required to be mercury-free the contractor shall immediately provide a report to the navsea dry environmental systems and hazardous materials (navsea 05p5) via the cognizant contract administration safety office. Reports concerning systems covered by navsea manual 0989-064-3000 must include navsea nuclear propulsion directorate (sea 08) in the distribution. Reports must be in letter form and include the date and details of the contact, the surfaces contacted, the recovery actions taken, and the status of the affected surfaces.
