CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT
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.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
(i) Technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;
- Sub Factor A: IAW section 3 of the Demineralizer Technical Specification Sheet - Current designs, drawings, methods, proposals, or past performance showing compliance with required Demineralizer GENERAL DESIGN FEATURES including:
1) Design Pressure, temperature, flow rate, maximum differential pressure
2) Geometry (Outer diameter, length, media capacity)
3) Filled with filtration media per section 4 of the Demineralizer Technical Specification Sheet.
4) Adherence to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
-Sub Factor B: IAW sections 6.1 – 8.2 of the Demineralizer Technical Specification Sheet – Proposed tapped lifting hole design, configuration, and required Charpy impact test results of base material and load testing of completed lifting holes.
- Sub Factor C: IAW section 8.3 of the Demineralizer Technical Specification Sheet – Magnetic Particle Inspection procedures / capabilities OR proof of past performance demonstrating compliance with NAVSEA Technical Publication TP T9074-AS- GIB- 010/271.
- Sub Factor D: IAW section 10 of the Demineralizer Technical Specification Sheet - Proposed material and design of shielded vessel head to achieve required gamma radiation attenuation.
- Sub Factor E: IAW remainder of the Demineralizer Technical Specification Sheet - Current designs, drawings, methods, proposals, or past performance to meet all other Specification requirements not included in Sub Factors A – D above.
(ii) Past performance; and
(ii) Price
Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal to price.
Factors and sub-factors will be graded as follows:
Factor I - Technical. The term “technical,” as used herein, refers to non-price factors other than past performance. More than one “technical” factor can be used and titled to match the specific evaluation criteria appropriate for the RFQ. The purpose of the technical factor is to assess whether the offeror’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. Some of the aspects affecting an offeror’s ability to meet the solicitation requirements may include technical approach, key personnel and qualifications, facilities, and others. Once the minimum requirements are established, the team shall evaluate the offeror’s proposal against these requirements to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined in Table C-1.
Table C-1 Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method
| Adjectival Rating |
| Description |
| Acceptable |
| Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation. |
| Unacceptable |
| Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation. |
Factor II – Past Performance. The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. Past performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using the ratings in Table C-2. First, past performance will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s present/past performance is recent, and relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. The criteria to establish what is recent and relevant shall be unique to each LPTA source selection. Therefore, the solicitation shall establish the criteria for recency and relevancy in relation to the specific requirement being procured. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror’s contract performance history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the requirements of the contract that is contemplated to be awarded as a result of the evaluation of proposals in the current procurement. Note: For this solicitation, “recency and relevancy” is defined as performance of similar service (i.e. towing of nuclear laden barge) within the last 3 years. Second, the past performance evaluation will determine how well the offeror performed on the prior contracts. The past performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror performed those past contracts. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”
Table C-2 Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method
| Adjectival Rating |
| Description |
| Acceptable |
| Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note above) |
| Unacceptable |
| Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. |
Sources of Past Performance Information for Evaluation Sources are as follows:
• Past performance information may be provided by the offeror, as solicited.
• Past performance information may be obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition.
• Past performance information may be obtained from established systems such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, such as the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Fee Determining Officials.
The past performance evaluation team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment.
Factor III – Price.
A Firm Fixed Price – Firm Fixed Price contract will be awarded to the offer that is determined lowest price technically acceptable Price analysis will normally be used to determine the reasonableness of total evaluated price to support the selection of the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror. Although in exceptional cases when the determination of fair and reasonable price requires additional information (e.g. only one offer is received), the Contracting Officer will conduct analysis to support the determination of whether the proposed price is fair and reasonable.
The burden of proof for price credibility rests with the Offeror. Offerors are cautioned that, to the extent proposed price appear unrealistic, the Government may infer either a lack of understanding of the requirements, increased risk of performance, or lack of credibility on the part of the offeror.
(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
