About this file
This document is a procurement guidance document for the Sustainable Procurement Program (formerly Green Procurement), administered by POC Barry Lewis (843-963-1470), Revision 1.
The program requires contractors to purchase environmentally preferable products and services in accordance with established Federal green procurement preference programs. For any purchased items where the collective purchase price of functionally similar items exceeds $10,000 during a fiscal year, contractors must procure items composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials or biobased content practicable. Contractors may decline such procurement only if items are not reasonably available within a reasonable timeframe, fail to meet satisfactory performance standards, or are available only at unreasonable prices. For contract actions exceeding $100,000, contractors must estimate the percentage of total materials utilized that are recovered materials. The document references the EPA's Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG) Program, which provides a CPG Product Supplier Directory of green products and sources. For biobased products, contractors must comply with the USDA Biopreferred program by reporting to sam.gov with a copy to the Contracting Officer on product types and dollar values of USDA-designated biobased products purchased during the previous Government fiscal year (October 1 through September 30). Reports must be submitted no later than October 31 of each year during contract performance and at contract completion.
