1.11 GREEN PROCUREMENT PROGRAM

See section 01 10 10 AFFIRMATIVE PROCUREMENT for additional information.

1.11.1 This paragraph encompasses all Environmentally-friendly Purchasing

Requirements - The U.S. Federal Government is one of the largest purchasers in the world. As such, Congress and the President have passed into law a number of initiatives intended to encourage the development of markets for more environmentally friendly, or green, products. In addition to legal requirements, the Department of

Defense (DoD) and United States Air Force (USAF) have clarified requirements or sought to increase their contribution to the effort.

The various purchasing initiatives and requirements are brought under one umbrella program termed the Green Procurement Program.

1.11.2 The Green Procurement Program (GPP) encompasses seven program elements including: Recovered Materials (formerly referred to as

Affirmative Procurement, which addresses the Environmental

Protection Agency’s Comprehensive Procurement Guideline [CPG] requirements for recycled and reclaimed content of products);

Biobased Products; Energy and Water Efficient Products; Alternative

Fuels and Fuel Efficiency; Non-Ozone Depleting Substances (Non-ODS);

Priority Chemicals; and Environmentally Preferable Products (EPP).

1.11.3 This project is subject to GPP requirements and requires the purchase of GPP-compliant products as well as documentation verifying compliant purchasing. Product specifications within their respective divisions will detail any applicable requirements. For example, appliances may be required to have the Energy Star® label or carpet may be required to have minimum recycled content. The

Green Products Determination Form (GPDF) included in this section highlights products that are subject to GPP requirements. The GPDF is considered a summary of affected products to supplement the project specifications, and any discrepancies between the list and project specifications shall be reported to 90 CES. Listed items marked with an “R” are required for consideration in this project.

The Contractor may change the “R” designation to “E1”, “E2”, “E3” or

“E4” when justified as indicated below (Definitions of “E” designations are listed on the GPDF).

1.11.4 All submittal packages shall be required to include documentation verifying GPP requirements are met as specified in the product specifications. Substitutions are not allowed for products not complying with GPP requirements, including recycled content specifications, without documenting the background for the substitution request and receiving written approval from 90 CES.

U.S. Civil Service member and await further instructions.

1.16.4 The CO or authorized representative reserves the right to deny entry onto the Base or into the WSA to any Contractor personnel who refuses to comply with the security and safety regulations governing the installation. Delays resulting from such entry shall not result in any cost to the Government.

1.16.5 For access into the WSA, Contractor personnel shall be listed on an

Entry Authorization List (EAL), identified by a Security Forces member, physically searched and escorted on-site by an Escort

Official. Once the “Notice to Proceed” has been issued, the Prime

Contractor shall submit to the CO or authorized representative a list of names of companies (i.e., prime contractor, subcontractor, etc.), and the full name, title, social security number account number (SSAN), birth date and driver's license state/number of each person employed for work in the WSA. This list shall be type written on the Contractor’s company letterhead and shall be provided a minimum of ten (10) working days prior to the commencement of work within the WSA. This list shall be used to generate the EAL.

1.16.5.1 Deletions to the EAL can be made without preparing a new list.

However, for additions or corrections to the EAL, the Contractor shall submit a new list on company letterhead with all the required information. All requested changes to an approved EAL shall be submitted to the CO or authorized representative a minimum of ten

(10) working days before any changes are scheduled to occur.
