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.

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.
