Procurement Review. The Subrecipient shall comply with 45 CFR § 75.333 and make available, upon request of the Federal Awarding Agency or the County, technical specifications on proposed procurements where the Federal Awarding Agency or County believes such review is needed to ensure that the item or service specified is the one being proposed for acquisition.
Procurement Review. In 1995, NSP established a Hazardous Materials Procurement Control Program, which requires that NSP’s Safety and Environmental Departments evaluate products prior to purchase. As part of this program, a list of “Targeted Ingredients” was developed. These are ingredients that have been targeted for elimination from company use because of health or environmental concerns. Mercury is a targeted ingredient. Products containing targeted ingredients will be disapproved for purchase or allowed to be purchased on a restricted base only if a less hazardous alternative is not available. Product evaluations are done using the manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) so, if a product contains less than 1.0% mercury it may not be identified and eliminated through this process. NSP’s new Chemical Management Program, which is described below, will be designed to remove these contaminants from the products we purchase and use.
