5211.271 (DFARS 211.271) Elimination of Use of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances

 

5211.271(90) Definitions.

"Appropriate technical representative (ATR)" (also referred to as approved technical representative) means an individual who has the sufficient technical experience and knowledge to provide a competent certification.

"Senior acquisition official (SAO)" means an official at a level no lower than a general or flag officer or member of the Senior Executive Service within the requiring activity or the requiring activity chain of command.

 

5211.271(91) Technical reviews and Approvals.

(a) The requiring activity shall review the requirements and applicable specifications and standards for Class I ozone-depleting substances (ODS.) If adequate technical capability is not available, the configuration control manager (CCM) or other ATR shall conduct the review. Reviewers should use the current version of "DOD Specifications Referencing the Use of ODS" maintained by NAVSEA 03L, Environmental Engineering Group, on the world wide web at http://assets-www.idss.ida.org/.

(b) The ATR shall execute a technical certification and submit the certification to the appropriate SAO for determination/approval. The technical certification is a good faith statement of the signer's knowledge of the requirements of the specifications and standards in the context of the requirements package. The technical certification is not intended to be a guarantee.

(c) The requiring activity shall include SAO approvals in the PR package submitted to the contracting office. Upon receipt of a PR package which does not include an SAO approval, the contracting officer may conclude, absent knowledge to the contrary, that the procurement uses no Class I ODS.

(d) A sample format for technical certification and SAO approval/determination for new and existing contracts is shown in TABLE 5211-90.

5211.271(92) Reporting Requirements.

(a) Responsibility.

(i) Each SAO granting an approval or making a determination authorizing the use of a Class I ODS shall report each determination/approval to ABM, or to such other office as may be otherwise designated for purposes of submission of consolidated reports to ABM.

 

(b) Frequency. SAO reports shall be submitted annually to ABM no later than January 15 for determinations/approvals executed during the preceding calendar year.

(c) SAO Class Approvals. Any activity using an SAO class approval for procurement actions shall record and report such usage as set forth in the approval or as otherwise directed by the SAO. The SAO shall include this information in the annual report to ABM.

 

5211.271(93) Solicitation provisions and contract clauses.

Offerors should be encouraged to share with the Navy any knowledge they might have regarding Class I ODS required by specifications or standards in a solicitation. The contracting officer may include a provision substantially similar to the provision at 5252.211-9000, Notice to Offerors - Use of Class I Ozone Depleting Substances, in solicitations, if considered appropriate.
