The Contractor must show compliance with the KSP standards, where KSPs are furnished by the Contractor in performance of the work.

If the Contractor cannot meet the requirements of this section due to price, performance or availability, the Contractor must supply the Contracting Officer with justification and documentation (i.e. price comparisons) and must have Contracting Officer’s approval prior to beginning work , i.e. using existing stock, cannot match product, document any cost difference, etc.

Where KSPs are provided by the Contractor, the Contractor must submit specific documentation of compliance with all applicable sustainable attributes. Acceptable documentation includes:

manufacturer specification sheets; technical data sheets; product data sheets; environmental product declarations; manufacturer submittal sheets; and manufacturer letters.

Key Sustainable Products are listed in the Green Procurement Compilation at https://sftool.gov/green-products/1037/key-sustainable-products?agency=9 and have been pre-certified. For these products, correctly-dated screenshots showing each applicable product on the list are sufficient. All non-KSP products must comply with baseline Federal standards, which are all listed in the “Green Procurement Compilation” at sftool.gov”.

The Contractor must submit compliance documentation to the Contracting Officer at the time designated in this Contract for submittals generally. If no other submittals are required as part of this Contract, the Contractor shall submit proof of KSP compliance at least 10 business days before the start of work.
