Prohibited Substances Compliance (Hexavalent Chromium)

The contract mandates strict compliance with environmental restrictions by ensuring that all V-belt materials supplied are free of hexavalent chromium, a hazardous substance regulated under environmental and safety guidelines. Suppliers must validate this compliance through rigorous testing and obtain official certification to confirm the absence of hexavalent chromium in all components, with the requirement applying across the entire supply chain. Failure to meet these standards could result in non-compliance penalties and rejection of delivered goods. This subcontract, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, falls under the NAICS code 339999 for other miscellaneous manufacturing and is effective as of July 15, 2026. The procurement is part of a broader effort to enforce environmental safety within defense-related manufacturing processes, and all parties involved must adhere to the specified restrictions without exception. The contract does not specify a physical location for performance but requires adherence to federal standards regardless of where production occurs.
