DSCR H8G: MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS AND HAZARD WARNING LABELS

H8G   52.223-9G01   MATERIAL SAFETY DATA   DSCR (MAR 2000)
AND   ALT I         SHEETS AND HAZARD 
H23F31              WARNING LABELS

    (a)  This clause is used in conjunction with FAR Clause
52.223-3, Hazardous Material Identification and Material
Safety Data, and DFARS Clause 252.223-7001, Hazard Warning
Labels.  In the event of any perceived ambiguities in the
contents of these clauses, DSCR Clause 52.223-9G01 ALT I 
takes precedence.

    (b)  A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), meeting the 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1200(g) and the latest version 
of Federal Standard No. 313, and a hazard warning label (HWL)
(when specified by terms of DFARS Clause 252.223-7001) shall 
be provided to DSCR for any item of hazardous material to 
be furnished under the terms of this agreement/contract.

        (1)  Data shall be submitted in accordance with 
Federal Standard No. 313, whether or not the offeror is the 
actual manufacturer of these items.  Failure to comply with 
submission of the Material Safety Data Sheet will result in
the contractor being considered ineligible to provide 
future requirements for hazardous material under this 
agreement/contract.

        (2)  The contractor shall submit an MSDS (and HWL,
if required) under the agreement/contract either:

             (i) before award with its proposal (SUBMISSION 
UNDER THIS OPTION IS LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN 15 ITEMS), or

             (ii) before shipping the hazardous item, per
instructions in paragraph (d)(2) below. 

        (3)  Once submitted under the terms of this 
agreement/contract, the MSDS and HWL will be valid for the
term of the agreement/contract, unless the MSDS or HWL does
not conform to the requirements stated in paragraph (b) 
above, or there is a change in the composition of the item 
or the requirements of Federal Standard No. 313.  If MSDS 
or HWL does not conform to the stated requirements, the 
contractor shall submit a corrected MSDS or HWL upon 
request by DSCR.  If the composition of the item or the 
requirements of Federal Standard 313 change after 
submission of the MSDS, the contractor shall submit a new
MSDS in accordance with paragraph (e) of FAR Clause 52.223-3.

        (4)  The MSDS, or an attachment to the MSDS, must 
cite the agreement/contract number (to include call/order 
number), the applicable CAGE code of the manufacturer, the 
part number, the National Stock Number (NSN) (if known), 
and the annotation "DoD EMALL."  These markings will alert 
DSCR to process the MSDS quickly as the material is in route
to the customer.

        (5)  The MSDS (and HWL, if required) shall be 
submitted to the Contracting Officer as specified in 
paragraphs (c) and (d)(2) below.   The MSDS (and the HWL,
if required) shall accompany hazardous shipments. 

    (c)  Notwithstanding paragraph (4) of Federal Standard 
313C (1 March 1988), the contractor shall submit the MSDS 
and accompanying HWL, if any, to -

Defense Supply Center Richmond

This will satisfy the contractor's responsibility to submit
an MSDS (and HWL, if required) as stipulated by Federal 
Standard 313, FAR Clause 52.223-3, and DFARS Clause
252.223-7001.

    (d)  For calls/orders for a hazardous item placed by a 
Government activity (either directly from the customer or 
through a DLA procurement office) for delivery under the 
terms of this agreement/contract -- 

        (1)  If an acceptable MSDS (and HWL, if required) for
the item to be supplied under this order HAS BEEN submitted by
the contractor under the terms of this agreement/contract in
accordance with paragraph (b)(2)(i) above, the order may be
accepted and the item may be shipped. 

        (2)  If an acceptable MSDS (and HWL, if required) 
for the item to be supplied under this call/order HAS NOT 
BEEN submitted by the contractor under the above terms 
of this agreement/contract in accordance with paragraph (b)
(2)(i) above:

              (i)  Shipment shall not be made until the 
required hazardous documents have been submitted to the
Contracting Officer.

              (ii)  Contractor shall provide the MSDS/HWL
to the Contracting Officer via FAX, mail, or email.

              (iii)  If an HWL is required and the material
is subject to labeling requirements of one of the acts at 
paragraph (b) of DFARS Clause 252.223-7001, the contractor 
shall identify on the HWL which act the labeling requirement
is under.
