DISPOSAL OF SCRAP (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019) [Modified by Buyer]

All Government scrap resulting from accomplishment of any Contract Work is the property of Buyer to be disposed of as it sees fit.

The determination as to which materials are considered scrap and which materials are salvage, will be made, or concurred in, by the duly appointed Government Property Administrator for the cognizant SUPSHIP or RMC Office. As consideration for retaining the Government’s scrap, Buyer’s price and Seller’s price for the performance of the Contract Work required herein shall be a net price reflecting the value of the Government scrap. This requirement is not intended to conflict in any way with the clauses if this Contract entitled “PERFORMANCE” (DFARS 252.217-7010) or “GOVERNMENT PROPERTY” (FAR 52.245-1), nor does it relieve Seller of any other requirement under such clauses.

GOVERNMENT SURPLUS PROPERTY (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019) [Modified by Buyer]

Seller shall provide a copy of the standard commercial warranty with the item. The standard commercial warranty period shall begin upon the final acceptance of the applicable material or software. Acceptance of the standard commercial warranty does not waive Buyer’s or the Government’s rights under the “Inspection” clause, nor does it limit Buyer’s or the Government’s rights with regard to other terms and conditions of the Contract. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions of the Contract shall take precedence over the standard commercial warranty.

GOVERNMENT USE OF CONTRACTOR’S INSPECTION EQUIPMENT (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

ACCESS TO VESSELS BY NON U.S. CITIZENS (NAVSEA) (APR 2019) [Modified by Buyer]

1. No person not known to be a U.S. citizen shall be eligible for access to naval vessels, work sites and adjacent areas when said vessels are under construction, conversion, overhaul, or repair, except upon a finding by COMNAVSEA or his designated representative that such access should be permitted in the best interest of the United States. The Seller shall establish procedures to comply with this requirement and NAVSEAINST 5510.2D.
   
2. If the Seller desires to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of work under this contract or agreement that requires access as specified in paragraph (a) of this requirement, approval must be obtained prior to access for each contract or agreement where such access is required. To request such approval for non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries, the Contractor shall submit to the Buyer Procurement Representative, an Access Control Plan (ACP) which shall contain as a minimum, the following information:
   
   1. Badge or Pass oriented identification, access, and movement control system for non-U.S. citizen employees with the badge or pass to be worn or displayed on outer garments at all times while on the Contractor's facilities and when performing work aboard ship.
      
      1. Badges must be of such design and appearance that permits easy recognition to facilitate quick and positive identification.
         
      2. Access authorization and limitations for the bearer must be clearly established and in accordance with applicable security regulations and instructions.
         
      3. A control system, which provides rigid accountability procedures for handling lost, damaged, forgotten or no longer required badges, must be established.
         
      4. A badge or pass check must be performed at all points of entry to the Seller’s facilities or by a site supervisor for work performed on vessels outside the Seller’s plant.
         
   2. Seller’s plan for ascertaining citizenship and for screening employees for security risk.
      
   3. Data reflecting the number, nationality, and positions held by non-U.S. citizen employees, including procedures to update data as non-U.S. citizen employee data changes, and pass to the Buyer Procurement Representative.
      
   4. Seller’s plan for ensuring subcontractor compliance with the provisions of the Seller’s ACP.
      
   5. These conditions and controls are intended to serve as guidelines representing the minimum requirements of an acceptable ACP. They are not meant to restrict the Seller in any way from imposing additional controls necessary to tailor these requirements to a specific facility.
      
3. To request approval for non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries (listed in Department of Defense Industrial Security Manual, DOD 5220.22-M, Seller shall include in the ACP the following employee data: name, place of birth, citizenship (if different from place of birth), date of entry to U.S., extenuating circumstances (if any) concerning immigration to U.S., number of years employed by Seller, position, and stated intent concerning U.S. citizenship. COMNAVSEA or his designated representative will make individual determinations for desirability of access for the above group. Approval of ACP's for access of non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries will not be delayed for approval of non-U.S. citizens of hostile communist-controlled countries. Until approval is received from Buyer, Seller must deny access to vessels for employees who are non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries. Such approval is subject to approval by the Government.
   
4. The Seller shall fully comply with approved ACPs. Noncompliance by the Seller or subcontractor serves to cancel any authorization previously granted, in which case the Seller shall be precluded from the continued use of non-U.S. citizens on this contract or agreement until such time as the compliance with an approved ACP is demonstrated and upon a determination by the Buyer Procurement Representative that the Government's interests are protected. Further, the Buyer and the Government reserve the right to cancel previously granted authority when such cancellation is determined to be in the Government's best interest. Use of non-U.S. citizens, without an approved ACP or when a previous authorization has been canceled, will be considered a violation of security regulations. Upon confirmation by the Buyer Procurement Representative of such violation, this contract, agreement or any job order issued under this agreement may be terminated or default in accordance with the clause entitled "Default (Fixed-Price Supply and Service)" (FAR 52.249-8), "Default (Fixed-Price Research and Development)" (FAR 52.249-9) or "Termination (Cost Reimbursement)" (FAR 52.249¬6), as applicable.
   
5. In the event the Contractor does not intend to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of the work under this contract, but has non-U.S. citizen employees, such employees must be precluded from access to the vessel and its work site and those shops where work on the vessel's equipment is being performed. The ACP must spell out how non-U.S. citizens are excluded from access to contract work areas.
   
6. The same restriction as in paragraph (e) above applies to other non-U.S. citizens who have access to the Seller’s facilities (e.g., for accomplishing facility improvements, from foreign crewed vessels within its facility, etc.) except that, with respect to access to the vessel and worksite, the restrictions shall not apply to uniformed U.S. Navy personnel who are non-U.S. citizens and who are either assigned to the ship or require access to the ship to perform their duties.

INFORMATION ON EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS MATERIAL (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019)

Per 29 CFR 1910.1200, Hazard Communication, you, as a contractor employer with employees working at a Government facility, are hereby informed of the hazardous materials used at the Government facility which your employees may be exposed to while working here and also to suggest appropriate protective measures. Your own responsibilities as an employer, if any, are given in 29 CFR 1910.1200.

1. Hazardous materials your employees may be exposed to. Hazardous materials are materials which are cancer causing agents, toxic or highly toxic agents, reproductive toxins, irritants, corrosives, sensitizers, liver toxins, kidney toxins, agents which act on the blood forming system, and agents which damage the lungs, skins, eyes or mucous membranes. There are many potentially hazardous chemicals present at the Government facility which, unless controlled properly, could present a safety and health problem. The presence of many potentially hazardous materials may be apparent from the manufacturer’s warning label on the hazardous material containers. The presence of many potentially hazardous materials may also be apparent due to their physical characteristics, such as the visual appearance of abrasive blasting dust or the distinctive smell of many solvents. These hazardous materials range in type and quantity. Typical hazardous materials include, but are not limited to:
   
   1. Metals, e.g., mercury, lead, chromium
      
   2. Paints and adhesives, e.g., varnishes and related products, sealing compounds, asphalt, deck and floor coverings, deck compounds
      
   3. Corrosives, e.g., acids, alkalis
      
   4. Compressed and liquefied gas, e.g., nitrogen, argon, oxygen, acetylene
      
   5. Lubricants and oils, e.g., greases, cutting oils, hydraulic oils, miscellaneous waxes and fats
      
   6. Fuels, e.g., liquid propellants, fuel oils, oxidizers, solid fuels
      
   7. Particulates, e.g., asbestos fiberglass, dust, fumes, mist
      
      Depending on the material involved, materials such as these can present physical hazards and or health hazards.
      
      
2. Labeling of Hazardous Material. Containers of potentially hazardous chemicals bear manufacturer’s labeling, which identifies the chemical and it manufacturer, and provides appropriate hazard warnings. In addition, some materials may be labeled with the National Protection Association (NFPA) 704 label. This label uses a system of color coded symbols and numbers to convey the potential hazard of the material. The contractor should obtain information from NFPA concerning the interpretation of the 704 label.
   
3. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). The Safety Office maintains copies of manufacturers’ MSDS for potentially hazardous chemicals/materials that are known to be present in the Government facility. The contractor may, upon request to the Safety Office, review MSDS for any specific materials to which contractor employees may be exposed while performing work in the Government facility. This information may be reviewed in the Safety Office.
   
4. Appropriate Protective Measures. Exposure to potentially hazardous material may occur from inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with the material: therefore, the following precautions should be taken:
   
   1. Obey signs, directions and warning labels;
      
   2. Do not use unknown or labeled materials;
      
   3. Only operate equipment that you are authorized to operate, familiar with, and qualified to operate;
      
   4. If any health effects (skin rash, trouble breathing, etc.) occur, which you feel are caused by exposure to hazardous material, contact the Safety Office.
      
5. The Navy Safety Office points of contact are as follows: Michael Manese, Code 160B
