10- RFO 52.223-9 Estimate of Percentage of Recovered Material Content for EPA.pdf

This is a federal contract clause template (FAR 52.223-9) that establishes requirements for estimating and reporting the recovered material content of EPA-designated items. The clause applies to contractors upon completion of a contract and requires two specific deliverables: (1) estimation of the total percentage of recovered material content in EPA-designated items delivered and/or used during contract performance, including the percentage of postconsumer material content where applicable, and (2) submission of this estimate to a contracting officer in accordance with agency procedures. The clause defines key terms, specifying that postconsumer material refers to finished products that have completed their intended use and been discarded for disposal or recovery, while recovered material encompasses waste materials and by-products diverted from solid waste, excluding materials commonly reused within original manufacturing processes. The contracting officer is responsible for completing the submission instructions in the blank space provided, tailored to specific agency procedures. This clause is prescribed by FAR 23.108(b)(2) and was issued in May 2008 as part of federal environmental and sustainability requirements for government contracting.
