About this file
This is an attachment documenting biobased product requirements for the USDA Forest Service. The document specifies mandatory minimum biobased content percentages for nine categories of bio-preferred products and identifies EPA-designated products that must be considered for procurement.
The bio-preferred product categories include: Diesel Fuel Additives (90% minimum biobased content); Hydraulic Fluids for Mobile Equipment (44%); Penetrating Lubricants (68%); Truck Greases (71%); Gear Lubricants (58%); Fuel Conditioners (64%); Erosion Control materials (77%); and 2-Cycle Engine Oils (34%). Each category includes specific product definitions and intended applications. Additionally, the document lists EPA-designated products that must be evaluated for procurement, including plastic trash bags, cement and concrete, traffic barricades and cones, engine coolants, rebuilt vehicular parts, re-refined lubricating oils, retread tires, manual grade strapping, signage, and sorbents. This attachment establishes procurement standards for the USDA Forest Service to prioritize environmentally preferable biobased products in contract requirements.

Mitchel Jackson IRSC USDA Forest Service Attachment 1c: Bio Preferred Products
Bio Preferred Products:
a Diesel Fuel Additives
(1) Any substance, other than one composed solely of carbon and/or hydrogen, that is intentionally added to diesel fuel (including any added to a motor vehicle's fuel system) and that is not intentionally removed prior to sale or use.
(2) Neat biodiesel, also referred to as B100, when used as an additive. Diesel fuel additive does not mean neat biodiesel when used as a fuel or blended biodiesel fuel (e.g., B20). 90% - Minimum Biobased Content.
b Hydraulic Fluids - Mobile Equipment Hydraulic fluids formulated for general use in nonstationary equipment, such as tractors, end loaders, or backhoes. 44% - Minimum Biobased Content.
c Penetrating Lubricants Products formulated to provide light lubrication and corrosion resistance in close tolerant internal and external applications including frozen nuts and bolts, power tools, gears, valves, chains, and cables. 68% - Minimum Biobased Content.
d Greases - Truck Lubricants composed of oils thickened to a semisolid or solid consistency using soaps, polymers or other solids, or other thickeners. Lubricants that are designed for use on the fifth wheel of tractor trailer trucks onto which the semi-trailer rests and pivots. 71% - Minimum Biobased Content.
e Gear Lubricants Products, such as greases or oils, that are designed to reduce friction when applied to a toothed machine part (such as a wheel or cylinder) that meshes with another toothed part to transmit motion or to change speed or direction. 58% - Minimum Biobased Content.
f Fuel Conditioners Products formulated to improve the performance and efficiency of engines by providing benefits such as removing accumulated deposits, increasing lubricity, removing moisture, increasing the cetane number, and/or preventing microbial growths within the fuel system. 64% - Minimum Biobased Content.
h Erosion Control Woven or non-woven fiber materials manufactured for use on construction, demolition, or other sites to prevent wind or water erosion of loose earth surfaces, which may be combined with seed and/or fertilizer to promote growth. 77% - Minimum Biobased Content.
g 2-Cycle Engine Oils Lubricants designed for use in 2-cycle engines to provide lubrication, decreased spark plug fouling, reduced deposit formation, and/or reduced engine wear. 34% - Minimum Biobased Content.
EPA Designated Products:
Plastic trash bags, Cement and Concrete, Traffic Barricades, Traffic Cones, Engine Coolants, Rebuilt Vehicular Parts, Re-refined lubricating oils, retread tires, manual grade strapping, signage, sorbents.
