SECTION II: ENVIRONMENTAL PREFERABILITY SUBMISSION

CONTRACTOR’S ENVIRONMENTAL PREFERABILITY SUBMISSION

This section details what Contractor must include in their technical proposals called the “Environmental Preferability Submission.”

‘‘environmentally preferable’’ means products or services that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose. This comparison may consider raw materials acquisition, production, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, reuse, use, operation, maintenance, or disposal related to the product or service;

(1) Introduction: Executive Order (EO) 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, was signed by President Obama on 19 March 2015. The goal of EO 13693 is to maintain Federal leadership in sustainability and greenhouse gas emission reductions. Section 3, paragraph (i) of EO 13693 reiterates the need for agencies to promote sustainable acquisition and procurement by ensuring that each of the following environmental performance and sustainability factors are included to the maximum extent practicable for all applicable procurements in the planning, award, and execution phases of the acquisition:

• Purchasing preference for recycle content products designated by EPA;

• Purchasing preference for energy and water efficient products and services, such as ENERGY STAR qualified and Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP)-designated products, identified by EPA and the Department of Energy (DOE);

• Purchasing preference for Bio Preferred and bio based designated products designated by the United States Department of Agriculture; requirements of present and future generations of Americans (EO 13423, Section 9 and EO 13514, Section 19(l)).

• Purchasing sustainable products and services identified by EPA programs including:

◦ Significant New Alternative Policy (SNAP) chemicals or other alternatives to ozone-depleting substances and high global warming potential hydro fluorocarbons, where feasible, as identified by SNAP;

◦ Water Sense certified products and services (water efficient products);

◦ Safer Choice labeled products (chemically intensive products that contain safer ingredients); and

◦ Smart Way Transport partners and Smart Way products (fuel efficient products and services);

• Purchasing environmentally preferable products or services that:

◦ Meet or exceed specifications, standards, or labels recommended by EPA that have been determined to assist agencies in meeting their needs and further advance sustainable procurement goals of EO 13693; or

◦ Meet environmental performance criteria developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies consistent with section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Public Law 104–113) and OMB Circular A–119; Jointly the EOs mandate there is a reduction or elimination of acquisition and use of toxic chemical and an increase of the use of acceptable alternative chemicals and processes in keeping with the agency's procurement policies.

Accordingly, the contractor is to provide information allowing the FLETC to evaluate and verify the environmental preferability characteristics of the chemical products, supplies, and materials required in performance of this contract. The contractor shall identify which products, supplies, and materials used under this contract shall contain recycled content, as mandated by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through EPA’s publication of the Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG). Finally, contractor is to address federal recycling mandates by proposing a strategy to manage and enhance waste minimization and recycling.

(2) Definitions: Environmentally preferable means that a product or service has a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose.

(3) Helpful Resources: Useful guidance for identifying product brands having one or more environmentally preferable attributes can be found at EPA’s website, “Environmentally Preferable Purchasing,” at http://pub.fss.gsa.gov/environ/index.html,

(4) Mandatory and Desirable Characteristics-- In accordance with FAR Subpart 23.1, contractor will use or supply products covered by the following environmental programs:

Bio Preferred To the maximum extent, materials should meet the minimum bio-based content listed per category.

http://pub.fss.gsa.gov/environ/index.html https://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2023_1.html#wp1072043 http://www.biopreferred.gov/BioPreferred/faces/pages/ProductCategories.xhtml

FAR clause 52.223-2, Affirmative Procurement of Bio based Products Under Service and Construction Contracts, requires service and construction contractors to report their purchases of bio based products to the new reporting portal within the System for Award Management

(SAM).

In addition, for contractor performance at Federal facilities, require that the contractor provide the information needed by the Federal facility to comply with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Pollution Prevention Act, and E.O. 13514.

a. Mandatory (i.e., “Pass/Fail”) characteristics are those that must be achieved by the products.

b. Desirable characteristics are those that, to the degree achieved by a product beyond the Mandatory requirements in a given product category, shall result in more favorable consideration of that product category under the “Environmental Preferability” component of the evaluation.

c. Contractor shall provide a SDS, equivalent information, and/or any additional information specifically requested for each product offered in the product categories set forth below to enable the FLETC to evaluate both Mandatory and Desirable characteristics with respect to that product.

d. Failure to submit an SDS, equivalent data, or any other information required to substantiate claims made about one or more offered products shall be deemed the same as failing to meet the Mandatory criteria for that product category and may result in the approval delays.

(5) Waste Minimization and Recycling Strategy: Offerors also are required to propose a Waste Minimization and Recycling Strategy in this portion of their proposals. Failure to address this shall result in a proposal being considered incomplete and, accordingly, may result in approval delays.

(b) Chemical Cleaning Product Categories: The FLETC shall evaluate the Mandatory and Desirable characteristics of products in the Product Categories listed below. Offerors may propose more than one product within a product category (example only–brand “X” and brand “Y” for all-purpose cleaner) and/or propose a single product that addresses more than one product category or cleaning task (example only–brand “X” as all-purpose cleaner and general disinfectant).

Maintenance Product Categories

• Air Fresheners and Deodorizers

• Floor Cleaners and Protectors

• General Purpose Household Cleaners

• Glass Cleaners https://acquisition.gov/far/current/html/52_223_226.html#wp1168786 https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/

• Hand Cleaners and Sanitizers - Hand Cleaners

• Hand Cleaners and Sanitizers - Hand Sanitize

• Multipurpose Cleaners

Products in these product categories will be evaluated for meeting Mandatory and Desirable characteristics, the successful offeror shall be required to meet or exceed the below-listed Mandatory Environmental Preferability criteria in all of the chemical cleaning products presently envisioned for use during the performance of the contract to the maximum extent possible.

(c) Chemical Products Mandatory Characteristics: The proposal must demonstrate that products in each of the above categories meet the following four (4) criteria:

(1) Product does not contain EPA’s 17 Target Priority Pollutants: The FLETC is committed to protection of the Environment and, consistent with this, wishes to ensure that products used in performance of this contract do not contain as constituent elements “Toxics of Concern” identified by the EPA. The FLETC also wishes to eliminate the 17 chemicals targeted for reductions in use, releases, and transfers as follows:

1. Benzene

2. Cadmium (and compounds)

3. Carbon Tetrachloride

4. Chloroform

5. Chromium (and compounds)

6. Cyanides

7. Dichloromethane or Methylene Dichloride

8. Lead (and compounds)

9. Mercury (and compounds)

10. Methyl Ethyl Ketone

11. Methyl Isobutyl Ketone

12. Nickel (and compounds)

13. Tetrachloroethylene or Perchloroethylene

14. Toluene

15. Trichloroethane

16. Trichloroethylene

17. Xylene

A complete SDS and/or manufacturer product information for each product may provide sufficient data to enable assessment under this criterion. Additional supporting product information may be requested of an offeror.

(2) No Sealed Aerosol Spray Cans: No cleaning products shall be used on-site that are contained in pressurized, sealed aerosol spray cans. The FLETC chooses to eliminate on-site use of products so delivered because these containers require additional handling to fully discharge product and propellant and are not reusable or recyclable. All chemical cleaning products must be available in either a liquid form or manual pump action sprays and/or concentrates that can be dispensed into pump bottles for use. Acceptable supporting data here may include a picture of the commercially available product delivery system (as in commercial literature) and/or description of the offeror’s intended delivery system.

(3) Carcinogens: Eliminate the use of products containing known and probable carcinogens. Accordingly, no chemical product shall contain constituent compounds that are classified by EPA as known or probable carcinogens to the maximum extent. A complete SDS for each product may provide sufficient data to enable assessment under this criterion. This information typically would be found under the “Health Hazard Data” section (Sec. VI) of the SDS under “Carcinogenicity or the “Toxicological Information” (Sec 11) of the SDS.” Additional supporting product information may be requested of the contractor.

(4) Not a Hazardous Waste: Products must not constitute hazardous wastes, as defined at 40 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 261, when offered for disposal to the maximum extent. A complete SDS for each product may provide sufficient data to enable assessment under this criterion. This information typically would be found under Section VII, “Precautions for Safe Handling and Use,” under the “Waste Disposal Method” portion of SDS.

Additional supporting product information may be requested of the contractor.

(d) Chemical Product Desirable Characteristics: The following five (5) characteristics if present to some verifiable or demonstrable degree in an offered product (e.g., as indicated by manufacturer’s literature and/or an SDS for that product) shall, assuming that the product otherwise meets efficacy requirements (see Subsection (e) hereof), receive more favorable consideration under the “Environmental Preferability” component of the evaluation.

(1) Minimizes skin, eye and respiratory irritation: It is desirable that chemical products not contain chemicals that are strong irritants to the skin, eye and respiratory system.

See EPP Case Studies at http://www.epa.gov/epp/pubs/casestudies.htm , where the user may review products for “Environmental Attributes” that EPA considered including, Skin Irritation, Air Pollution Potential, Fragrances, Dyes, and Minimization of Exposure to Concentrates.

Furthermore, it is desirable for certain chemical cleaning products to be used in liquid form rather than through a delivery system that “atomizes” or delivers the product as a fine mist.

Eliminating such delivery minimizes the likelihood of inhalation by the user.

(2) Biodegradability: Contractor shall receive more favorable consideration commensurate with the number of product categories for which proposed products exhibit partial or complete biodegradability. With respect to cleaners, solvents or any other non-paper product, “biodegradability” shall mean the definition set forth at subparagraph 4.2.2 of Green Seal Standard GS-8 for General Purpose Household Cleaners. Further, sufficient proof of biodegradability may be shown not only by conducting product testing as set forth in the referenced standard, but by peer-reviewed literature or databases or other proof that product biodegradability has been verified. Green Seal is an independent certifying organization that has http://www.epa.gov/epp/pubs/casestudies.htm developed environmental Preferability standards through an open process. It is located at 1400 Sixteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, (202) 588-8400, Website:

http://www.greenseal.org.

(3) Dyes and Fragrances: It is a basic principle of pollution prevention to avoid unnecessary additives. Cleaning products where the addition of added dyes and fragrances is minimized is preferred. Accordingly, contractor is asked to identify any dyes and/or fragrances that have been added to a product. The FLETC recognizes that some cleaning products may have a natural odor associated with the cleaning agent (e.g. a lemon odor in a citrus-based cleaner). If a dye or fragrance has been added, please note whether or not it is deemed to be of “food grade” in accordance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. If not “food grade,” Offerors are asked to identify the constituent compounds of such dyes and/or fragrances.

(4) Recyclable Containers/Minimization of Non-Recyclable Waste: To minimize the generation of solid waste, the FLETC desires that newly delivered chemical products, equipment and machinery, be packaged in recyclable or reusable containers and that contractor examines ways of otherwise minimizing non-recyclable waste. Such means may include use of refillable product distribution devices and/or concentrates. Contractor is asked to identify for each product offered (a) whether the container can be sent back to the product distributor or manufacturer for reuse and/or (b) whether the container is made of readily recyclable material (e.g., glass, aluminum, steel, or PETE-1 or HDPE-2 plastics). Furthermore, Contractor is actively encouraged to ensure that products use no, or only a minimal amount of, polypropylene and/or polystyrene (“Styrofoam”) packaging or similar non-recyclable, non-biodegradable packaging.

Manufacturer literature clearly depicting the product packaging may be helpful. Contractor is encouraged to describe such strategies in their “Waste Minimization and Recycling Strategy” submission (see Subsection (h) hereof).

(5) Other: Contractor is invited to submit any other information not specifically covered by the enumerated Mandatory or Desirable characteristics that has a bearing on the environmental Preferability of offered products. This could include, for example, showing that a product category meets or exceeds the relevant Green Seal standards in whole or in part.

Website: http://www.greenseal. org. As noted, useful guidance for identifying vendors or product brands having one or more environmentally preferable attributes can be found at EPA’s website or at GSA’s website.

(e) Product Efficacy Testing: In addition to being evaluated for environmental Preferability, offered products may be evaluated for their efficacy. That is, a chemical cleaning or recycled content product that meets all Mandatory, as well as one or more Desirable, characteristics still may be deemed ineffective for its intended purpose(s) after testing by the evaluators. The evaluators may, at their sole discretion, deem a product ineffective. In such a case, the contractor submitting an otherwise acceptable proposal shall be informed of the nature of the deficiency (ies) of the product and have an opportunity to substitute the proposed product with another, effective product meeting all Mandatory characteristics. The FLETC’s failure to test a product for efficacy during the evaluation and award process shall in no way effect its ability to assess such efficacy and, if warranted, require product replacement(s) during the performance phase of the contract.

http://www.greenseal.org/

(f) Waste Minimization and Recycling Strategies: First, as noted at Subsection (d) (4) hereof, the FLETC is interested in minimization of non-recyclable waste generated in the performance of this contract. Second, like most federal offices, the FLETC has a limited recycling program in place. As in all recycling programs, contamination of recovered materials can be a problem. Foreign matter is sometimes deposited incorrectly in the recycling collection bins. Sometimes, mixed paper is found in the white paper containers. Accordingly, contractor shall propose methods or procedures, first, for minimizing the non-recyclable waste generated in performance of this contract and, second, to enhance separation under the existing recycling program of recyclable materials from waste generated throughout the contracted activities.

While there is no minimum Mandatory threshold per se under this criterion, contractor failure to address these considerations may result in approval delays.

The Contractor shall recycle the following:

Shipping pallets/containers Cardboard Aluminum containers (e.g., beverage cans) Telephone and other books Scrap metal, including steel containers

With respect to enhancement of separation under the existing recycling program, contractor should address each of the following areas: (a) procedures for monitoring volume of waste and recyclables recovered; (b) rates of participation in the recycling program; (c) activities to promote participation and avoid contamination of recovered materials; (d) measures to ensure Contractor observance of the recycling program; and (e) procedures for recovery and recycling of the listed recycled materials (f) providing recycling containers in convenient . The purpose of requiring Offerors to address this criterion is to ensure that the successful offeror has the ability to develop and implement this portion (“Waste Minimization and Recycling Program”) Firm/Key Personnel Experience with Environmentally Preferable Management: Contractor should include any relevant information pertaining to the past experience of their firm and/or key personnel) in managing or performing one or more prior custodial contracts in an “environmentally preferable” manner. This can mean being mindful of some or all of the following: the environmental Preferability of products used, recycled content considerations, waste minimization, or support of recycling programs. This information should be included with the “Environmental Preferability Submission.”

(g) The contractor shall provide a quarterly list/report to the COR of all environmentally preferred products (Tissue Products/Toner Cartridges/Concrete/Landscaping Timbers, cleaning products) the report shall contain the following as a minimum:

(i) The total dollar amount used on the above items

(ii) The dollar amount of recovered materials used (recycled) on the above items

(iii) If not able to purchase recovered materials why not

(5) Establish an Environmental Coordinator. The individual in this role is responsible for implementing and successfully executing the Contractor’s policy relating to its commitment to environmental management, employee health and safety, and the use of environmentally preferable products. While this may be a collateral assignment, the Contractor shall realize that the FLETC considers this to be a critical position within the Contractor’s on-site organization.

Forms: (The Contractor shall add to the forms any additional products such as paints, degreaser, etc…)
