Attachment 5 Form SPO 008 Certification of Recycled Content.pdf

This is a Certification of Recycled Content form (SPO Form-008) submitted by a bidder to the State of Hawaii Procurement Office in response to Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 27003 for Coarse Paper Products on a statewide basis. The form requires bidders to document the post-consumer recovered material content and total recovered material content for each coarse paper product being proposed, measured as a percentage of total product weight. Bidders must attach manufacturer specifications or certifications to substantiate the recycled content claims, as required by Hawaii Administrative Rules Section 3-124-23. The certification serves as part of the bid evaluation process and must be completed and signed by an authorized company representative, who declares under penalty of perjury that the recycled content information provided is true and accurate to the best of their knowledge.

The recycled content certification is a mandatory submission requirement for bid evaluation on the Coarse Paper Products contract, which will result in awards being incorporated into the existing State Procurement Office Price List Contract No. 25-15. Participating state agencies will place orders from awarded contractors on an as-needed basis during the applicable contract term. This approach allows the state to establish competitive pricing for coarse paper products while ensuring environmental compliance through the verification of recycled material content in accordance with Hawaii's procurement regulations.
