DOE-H-1049 Sustainable Acquisition under DOE Construction Contracts (May 2011)

Pursuant to Executive Order 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and Transportation

Management, and 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance, the

Department of Energy is committed to managing its facilities in an environmentally preferable manner that will promote the natural environment and protect the health and well being of its Federal employees and contractor service providers. In the performance of work under this contract, the Contractor shall exert its best efforts to provide its services in a manner that will promote the natural environment and protect the health and well being of Federal and contract employees at the facility. Sustainable acquisition or environmentally preferable contracting has several interacting initiatives. Among the initiatives are the following:

• Recycled Content Products are described at http://epa.gov/cpg

• Biobased Products are described at http://www.biopreferred.gov/

• Energy efficient products are at http://energystar.gov/products for Energy Star products

• Energy efficient products are at http://www.eere.energy.gov/femp/procurement for FEMP designated products

• Environmentally Preferable Computers are at http://www.epeat.net

• Non-Ozone Depleting Alternative Products are at http://www.epa.gov/ozone/strathome.html

• Water efficient plumbing products are at http://epa.gov/watersense

To the extent that the services provided by the Contractor require provision of any of the above types of products, the Contractor is expected to provide the sustainable, environmentally preferable type of product unless that type of product is not available competitively within a reasonable time, at a reasonable price, is not life cycle cost efficient in the case of energy consuming products, or does not meet reasonable performance standards. The clauses at FAR 52.223-2, Affirmative Procurement of Biobased Products under Service and Construction Contracts, 52.223-15, Energy Efficiency in Energy Consuming Products, and 52.223-17 Affirmative Procurement of EPA-Designated Items in Service and Construction Contracts, in Section I of this contract require the use of products that have biobased content, are energy efficient, or have recycled content.

In case of an apparent inconsistency between this provision and any specification elsewhere in the contract, consult the contracting officer for resolution.

Department of Energy (DOE) Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7252), incremental funding will be made available in accordance with this clause.
