List of Sustainable Products
The Contractor must comply with Section 9002 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA); Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; Executive Order (EO) 13423, "Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management;, " EO 13514, "Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance;" and the Federal Acquisition Regulation to provide biobased products. All custodial cleaning products required in the performance of this SOW shall be biobased and meet as a minimum, Green Seal Product Standards (http://www.greenseal.orgl). Biobased products that are designated for preferred procurement under USDA's BioPreferred program must meet the required minimum biobased content standards as listed below:
| Adhesive and Mastic Removers (BP) 58% - Minimum Biobased Content |
| Graffiti and Grease Removers (BP) 34% - Minimum Biobased Content |
| Sorbents (BP) 89% - Minimum Biobased Content |
| Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners - 54% - Minimum Biobased Content |
| General Purpose (BP) |
| Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners - 7% - Minimum Biobased Content |
| Spot Removers (BP) |
| Glass Cleaners (BP) 49% - Minimum Biobased Content |
| Bathroom Cleaners (BP) 74% - Minimum Biobased Content |
| Floor Strippers (BP) 78% - Minimum Biobased Content |
| Dust Suppressants (BP) 85% - Minimum Biobased Content |
The Contractor shall provide a list of all chemical products proposed for use under this contract to the COR for review and approval. If it is determined that a product does not meet Government performance requirements, the Contractor shall submit a proposed alternative that would meet the performance requirements with the lowest environmental impact for evaluation and acceptance. Any products currently in use that do not meet minimum biobased standards shall be replaced once the current supply is exhausted. The Contractor shall not use any materials, chemicals, or compounds which the COR determines would be unsuitable for the intended purpose or harmful to the surfaces to which applied or, as might be the case for such items as paper or soap products, unsatisfactory for use by occupants.
The Contractor shall maintain the smallest possible inventory of chemical products as necessary to meet immediate needs. All chemical containers will have the appropriate label, tag or marking prominently displayed that indicates the identity, safety and health hazards. The label used to identify the product must be identical to the product name on the safety data sheets (SDS).
Portable containers which contain a small amount of chemical need not be labeled if they are used immediately during that shift but must be under the strict control of the contractor employee using the product.
| At the start of the contract, the contractor shall provide the Contract Officer an | inventory of all cleaning products and chemicals to be used and stored on the | premises. The inventory shall include the following information: | |
| Intended use | |||
| Chemical Trade Name | |||
| Quantities stored on-site and location of storage area | |||
| Copies of the product SDS. |
The inventory shall be updated whenever products are added or removed from use.
| Non-Chemical Products | |||
| All non-chemical products proposed for use under this contract must conform to the | Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines | (CPG) (http://www.epa.gov/cpg) for recovered (recycled) content if the products are | CPG-designated items. |
Plastic trash bags -The plastic trash bags must contain at least 10-100% post- consumer content.
For non-chemical products that are not CPG-designated, it is desirable for those products to meet the desired objective (e.g., ability to clean effectively) and contain the highest-possible amounts (by percentage) of recovered material(s) and post- 'consumer content, unless specific content requirements are set by the Forest Service. Additional information on recycled content products is available at the California Integrated Waste Management Board's Recycled-Content Product Directory webpage (http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/rcp/).
| Green Cleaning and Maintenance Policy | ||||||
| Green cleaning is a planned and organized approach to cleaning that is designed to protect | the occupants and worker health and reduce the impact on our human health and our | environment. Unlike a traditional cleaning program, a green janitorial program takes a | holistic approach to facility cleaning. It goes beyond simple appearances to focus on health | and the environmental impacts. Green Cleaning incorporates stewardship, communication, | selection of cleaning chemicals, janitorial equipment, paper, supplies, and procedures and | methods in which the cleaning is accomplished. |
The Contractor shall take every precaution to ensure that if available only safe and environmentally preferable products are used. Preference shall be given to cleaning products that are biopreferred or biobased, then to products meeting the criteria under Green Seal's Standard GS-37 for Commercial and Institutional Cleaners, RCRA Section 6002, Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CBG) and Executive Order 13101.
| Preference shall also be given to concentrate cleaning chemicals that use ecologically sound | packaging, are phosphate-free, non-corrosive, non-combustible, non-poisonous, non-reactive, | bio-based and fully biodegradable. In addition, floor finishes and floor maintenance products | that are free of heavy metals, such as zinc are preferred. | |
| The intent of this Green Cleaning and Maintenance Policy is to improve the health and well- | being of building occupants and maintenance personnel by reducing their exposure to | potentially hazardous chemical, biological, and particulate contaminants that are common | with standard cleaning products and practices. The Contractor shall adhere to all guidelines | listed below. |
