The Contractor shall comply with Section 9002 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA), Executive Order (EO) 13423, “Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management,” and the Federal Acquisition Regulation to provide biobased products.

The Contractor shall utilize products and material made from biobased materials (e.g., biobased greases, biobased hydraulic fluids, biobased absorbents) to the maximum extent possible without jeopardizing the intended end use or detracting from the overall quality delivered to the end user. All supplies and materials shall be of a type and quality that conform to applicable Federal specifications and standards. All supplies and materials to be used in the performance of work described herein are subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

The following is an example list of products that may be used in this contract for operations and maintenance for which biobased products are available. The list is not all inclusive. It is desirable that vendors be able to supply the greatest number of biobased products listed meeting the health and environmental specifications.

Hydraulic fluids Penetrating lubricants Concrete and asphalt release fluids Absorbents Diesel fuel additives Greases Dust suppressants 2-cycle engine oil Wood and concrete sealers Fertilizers Roof coatings Water tank coatings Adhesive and mastic removers Cleaners Sorbents Floor finish Floor stripper Composite panels Insulating foam Sealers Carpet Metalworking fluids Graffiti and grease removers Stain removers Degreasers De-icers

Biobased products that are designated for preferred procurement under USDA’s BioPreferred program must meet the required minimum biobased content as stated in the USDA Final Rule available at www.biopreferred.gov. The Contractor should provide data for their biobased products such as biobased content.

In addition to the biobased products designated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the Bio-Preferred Program, the Contractor is encouraged to use other biobased products.

It is requested that the offerors submit with the initial proposal a complete list of biobased products, indicating the name of the manufacturer, cost of each material, and the intended use of each of the materials that are to be used in carrying out the requirements of the contract. Additionally, the winning Contractor on each anniversary date of the contract http://www.biopreferred.gov/ shall compile a complete list of biobased products, including the information above, purchased to carry out the contract requirements. The Contractor shall list volume to be used and total cost for each individual product. This information will be used for reporting purposes.

The Contractor shall comply with the provision at FAR 52.223-1, Biobased Product Certification.

The Contractor shall comply with the clause at FAR 52.223-2, Affirmative Procurement of Biobased Products under Service and Construction Contracts.

Within thirty (30) days of contract award, the Contractor shall submit an Operations and Maintenance Plan. This submittal shall be approved by the COR in writing. The Contractor shall not commence work until this submittal is approved by the COR in writing.

The Plan must be reviewed and updated annually, and as required by the COR. The Plan must contain and define the following elements:

1. The Contractor’s written policy stating its commitment to the use of biobased products, employee health and safety, and sound environmental management practices.

2. Detail on how the Contractor intends to keep abreast of the increasing availability of biobased products and how any new or improved products will be incorporated on an ongoing basis into contract performance.

3. Proposed biobased operations and maintenance products which must be selected in accordance with the criteria included above. At a minimum, the Plan must identify products by brand name for each of the product types.

NOTE: A Contractor may propose more than one product within a product category and/or propose a product or products addressing more than one product category.

and other procedures/instructions to accomplish work under this contract.

The Contractor shall provide data on the quantity and dollar values of biobased products used in this contract. The data will be submitted to the COR quarterly.

A demonstration of proper use, an effective training program, and technical assistance are essential to the success of the purchase and use of some biobased products that may function differently than a conventional product. Therefore we will look for a Contractor who will 1) demonstrate products, and 2) when selected, offer any necessary training to all of the construction staff and 3) be available with technical assistance to trouble shoot problems.
