ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Sustainability-Related Requirements LBNL’s Sustainable Acquisition Program (SAP) is subject to several interacting initiatives and Federal, DOE, State and University requirements related to sustainability, including Recycled Content Products (EPA Designated Products), Biobased (BioPreferred®), energy efficient products (EnergyStar®), environmentally preferable and energy efficient electronics (EPEAT®), Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), Non-Ozone Depleting Alternative Products (SNAP), and Water Efficient Plumbing Products (EPA WaterSense®).

The subcontractor must deliver products and services in compliance with the Environmentally Preferable Products and Services (EPP) article of the Sample Subcontract which implements the requirements of DEAR 970.5223-7 and 952.223- 78, Sustainable Acquisition Program, as well as other federal- and state-mandated sustainability requirements.

As part of this requirement, the Subcontractor must report on compliance with recycled content requirements, bio-based, and/or energy-savings (i.e. EPEAT® and EnergyStar®) if applicable to their work effort or product being provided.

Offerors are strongly encouraged to consult the General Services Administration (GSA) Sustainable Facilities Tool (SFTool) and the SFTool Product Search and Vendor Resources pages within that site for additional information on the listed products and services potentially subject to these requirements. Offerors should pay particular attention to the following subject areas and/or products and services that are frequently delivered as a part of LBNL’s subcontracted work efforts (the terms in parentheses are defined within the SF Tool site):

• Recycled Content Products (EPA Designated Products)

• Biobased Products (BioPreferred®)

• Energy Efficient Products (EnergyStar®)

• Environmentally Preferable and Energy Efficient Electronics (EPEAT®)

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction

• Non-Ozone Depleting Alternative Products

• Water Efficient Plumbing Products (EPA WaterSense®)

• Waste Reduction

LBNL is required to comply with UC policy on sustainable procurement to the extent to which they do not conflict with requirements in the Prime Contract with DOE. The UC policy prioritizes waste reduction in the following order: reduce, reuse, and then recycle. Accordingly, subcontractors and vendors must first reduce unnecessary purchasing and then prioritize purchasing surplus or multiple use products before purchasing recyclable or compostable products in accordance with the EPP article of the Sample Subcontract [OR]Sample Master Agreement. UC Policy also sets forth requirements for:

• Packaging,

• A ban on foam and single use plastic food service and other product packaging, and

• E-Waste recycling not addressed in the Federal requirements.

The California In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation requires in-use off-road diesel-fueled fleet owners to report off-road diesel vehicle inventories and actions taken to reduce vehicle emissions to the California Air Resources Board (CARB). LBNL is required to obtain certificates from potential subcontractors and vendors using or offering equipment or fleets exceeding 25 total horsepower (HP) demonstrating compliance for Laboratory-related work in the State of California prior to award. A fleet is defined as one or more vehicles collectively exceeding 25 HP.

By submitting a quote, offerors acknowledge the SAP and reporting requirements included in the Environmentally Preferable Products and/or Services article and General Provisions of the sample subcontract.
