The contract imposes strict environmental and safety controls, prohibiting the intentional use of mercury or mercury-containing compounds in any hardware, except for specific exempted applications such as batteries, fluorescent lamps, sensors, or weapons systems as defined by NAVSEA, with portable mercury-containing devices requiring shock-proof construction and a secondary containment boundary per NAVSEA 5100-003D. Hazardous materials must be labeled in compliance with DFARS 252.223-7001, and Material Safety Data Sheets must be provided for non-exempt hazardous substances. Cybersecurity and data protection are enforced through multiple DFARS clauses including 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information and 252.240-7997 for NIST SP 800-171 compliance, both with specific deviations applied for this solicitation.
