Background and Overview This project is funded in part by Section 60503 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), which provides funding for purchase of construction materials with substantially lower levels of embodied greenhouse gas emissions.

GSA’s IRA Low Embodied Carbon asphalt, concrete (and cement), glass and steel requirements establish numeric global warming potential (GWP) limits for certain EPA-approved construction materials: concrete (and cement), asphalt, steel, and glass (IRA-Eligible Materials). For each material, GWP limits have been established for the best performing 20% of materials in terms of embodied carbon (Top 20% Limits), the best performing 40% of materials in terms of embodied carbon (Top 40% Limits), and better than industry average (Better Than Average Limit).

This Evaluation Factor calls for Offeror commitments to furnishing IRA-Eligible Materials with the lowest possible GWP values. IRA Limit commitments proposed under this evaluation factor will be incorporated into the successful offeror’s resultant contract.

Individual materials’ GWP values may be found on individual manufacturers’ environmental product declarations (EPDs). EPDs must meet the standards reflected in GSA’s IRA Low Embodied Carbon asphalt, concrete (and cement), glass and steel requirements (see Compliance Documentation criteria listed for each IRA-Eligible Material).

Technical Acceptability and Scoring

Offerors will only meet the standard for technical acceptability under this Factor if they commit to furnish all required IRA-Eligible Materials with a GWP better (lower) than each IRA-Eligible Material’s Better Than Average Limit.

Offerors meeting the standard for technical acceptability will receive a number of Raw Scores, one for each IRA-Eligible Material required by the Contract:

● Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 100 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is better (lower) than GSA’s Top 20% Limits.

● Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 40 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is only better (lower) than GSA’s Top 40% Limits.

● Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 20 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is only better (lower) than GSA’s Better

Than Average Limit.

Offerors shall complete the “IRA Sustainability Factor Table” attached to this solicitation by filling out the applicable IRA Limit they commit to meet for each IRA-Eligible Material. Based upon the offeror’s selection in the “IRA Limit Commitment” column, the associated Raw Score, the Weighted Score, and the Total Weighted Score will be automatically calculated.

In addition, for each IRA-Eligible Material identified in the IRA Sustainability Factor Table, offerors shall submit EPDs listing that material’s GWP. Such EPDs must meet the standards reflected in GSA’s IRA Low Embodied Carbon asphalt, concrete (and cement), glass and steel requirements (see Compliance Documentation criteria listed for each IRA-Eligible Material).

Note 1: By submitting an offer, Offeror consents to unrestricted GSA use of supplier names and the GWP values associated with supplier materials.

Such information may be disclosed publicly or used to inform other low embodied carbon procurement activities. Technical solutions, supplier pricing and supplier-offeror terms and conditions will not be shared. Any objection shall be transmitted to the Contracting Officer by the due date for offers and shall adhere to 41 C.F.R. § 105-60.601.

Note 2: For each offeror that is unable to submit any of the compliant EPDs by the proposal due date, the offeror will submit a statement for each such missing compliant EPD certifying that it is unable to submit the compliant EPD by the proposal due date. Failure by an offeror to submit any compliant EPD or its certification (as described in the immediately preceding sentence) by the proposal due date will result in the offeror’s proposal being unacceptable and the offeror being ineligible for award.

The contract resulting from this solicitation will have the following provision:

“Within 180 days after contract award, the Contractor will submit a compliant EPD for any IRA- eligible Material for which the Contractor was unable to submit a compliant EPD by the proposal due date. GSA will not issue a Notice to Proceed with construction services to the Contractor until the Contractor has submitted a compliant EPD for each IRA-eligible Material for which the Contractor was unable to submit a compliant EPD by the proposal due date. In addition to other remedies available to the Government, if the Contractor fails to comply with the 180-day requirement in this paragraph for submission of compliant EPDs, GSA will have the option to cancel the contract for the construction services at no cost to either the Contractor or GSA.

VI.F. Non-Price Factors

Changes are provided in RED text:

(1) Sustainability

Weight 15%

(1) The Sustainability Factor will be self-scored as outlined in Section II.D, above.

(2) GSA will verify Offeror’s scoring and that IRA Limits are supported by environmental product declarations (EPDs) from proposed suppliers.

(3) GSA will verify that Offeror’s EPDs adhere to EPD standards reflected in GSA’s Interim IRA Low Embodied Carbon Material Requirements (see Compliance Documentation criteria listed for each IRA-Eligible Material). If an EPD is not available, GSA will review the offeror’s statement confirming unavailability.

(4) GSA will make any scoring adjustments necessary to correct patent errors. Once GSA has verified the Offeror’s scoring and, if necessary, made any corrections, the overall weighted score will be assigned an adjectival rating, as follows:

Weighted Score

Adjectival Rating

100 points Exceptional

90-99 points Very Good

20-89 points Acceptable

Unacceptable Unacceptable

Note 1: Any proposal that does not furnish all required IRA-Eligible Materials with a GWP better (lower) than each IRA-Eligible Material’s Better Than Average Limit will be rated as “Unacceptable” under this factor and will be ineligible for award.

Note 2: Any proposal that furnishes all required IRA-Eligible Material with a GWP better (lower) than GSA’s Top 20% Limits will receive a weighted score of 100 points (Exceptional).

All other terms and conditions not addressed herein remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
