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.

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 material safety data sheets (MSDS).

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. Requirements for bathroom tissue, paper towels, and trash bags are explicitly stated below:

1. Bathroom tissue -The bathroom tissue must contain at least 20-100% recovered fiber, including at least 20- 60% post-consumer fiber.

2. Paper Towels -The paper towels must contain at least 40-100% recovered fiber, including at least 40-60% post-consumer fiber.

3. 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.
