The contractor must submit to the COR a list indicating the name of the manufacturer, the band name, and the intended use of each of the materials proposed for use in the performance of their work. 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. For example, watered-down liquid hand soap would not be acceptable and would be required to be replaced immediately by the contractor.

The contractor shall utilize products and material made from biobased materials (e.g., biobased cleaners) to the maximum extent possible without jeopardizing the intended end use or detracting from the overall quality delivered to the end user. For the biobased content products evaluation, all non-chemical proposed for use under this contract must conform to the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Designated Biobased Products List (DBPL) whenever practicable.

Biobased Products to be provided by the Contractor: The following is a list of products that may be required for custodial purposes. Each product submitted must be identified with one of these categories.
