C-222-H001 ACCESS TO THE VESSELS BY NON-U.S. CITIZENS (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018) [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. Seller shall establish procedures to comply with this requirement and NAVSEAINST 5510.2D.
   
2. If Seller desires to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of Contract Work under this contract or agreement that requires access as specified in paragraph (a) of this requirement, approval must be obtained from Buyer, working with the Navy, 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, Seller shall submit to Buyer, 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 will be performed at all points of entry to the Buyer's facilities or by a site supervisor for work performed on vessels outside the Buyer'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 Buyer’s 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 or available from cognizant CAO), 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 Contractor, 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, Seller must deny access to vessels for employees who are non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries.
   
4. Seller shall fully comply with approved ACPs. Noncompliance by Seller or its subcontractor serves to cancel any authorization previously granted, in which case 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 and the CAO that the Government's interests are protected. Further, Buyer and the Government each reserves the right to cancel previously granted authority when such cancellation is determined to be in Buyer’s or 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 Buyer or the CAO 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. Seller has full responsibility for the proper administration of the approved ACP for all work performed under this contract or agreement, regardless of the location of the vessel, and must ensure compliance by all subcontractors, technical representatives and other persons granted access to U.S. Navy vessels, adjacent areas, and work sites.
   
6. In the event Seller 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.

C-223-H003 EXCLUSION OF MERCURY (NAVSEA) (MAR 2019) [modified by Buyer]

1. 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.
   
   
2. Seller, 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. Seller shall ensure that mercury and mercury compounds are not taken onboard naval vessels by Seller, 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).
