Green Cleaning The Contractor shall use green cleaning products and processes and shall demonstrate such capability by submitting a green cleaning plan to the COR that describes methods, materials, and equipment used under the contract. Green cleaning is a planned and organized approach to cleaning that is designed to protect the occupants and workers' health and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. Unlike a traditional cleaning program, a green custodial program takes a holistic approach to building cleaning and goes beyond simple appearances to focus on health and the environmental impacts. Green cleaning products and processes include, but are not limited to products containing recycled content, environmentally preferable products and services, vacuum cleaners with HEPA filtration, bio-based products, and products and services that minimize the use of energy, water, and other resources. In addition to compliance with these requirements, the Contractor shall follow all applicable standard industry practices including, but not limited to those published by the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM), and Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), as well as applicable standards of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Contractor shall take every precaution to ensure that if available, only safe and environmentally preferable products are used. Preference shall be given to cleaning products that meet the following: United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) designated bio-based products, Green Seal certified (Stnadard GS-37 for Commercial and Institutional Cleaners, Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG), and applicable Executive Orders. The success of the green program hinges on the principles of stewardship. Stewardship is the shared responsibility for everyone working together to improve human health and the environment through the Government's cleaning program. The Contractor shall develop stewardship activities that help educate building occupants and present them to the COR. Information on stewardship, training plan, and other issues can be found in ASTM E1971-98, Standard Guide on Stewardship for Cleaning Commercial and Institutional Buildings. See FAR 52.223-2, Affirmative Procurement of Biobased Products Under Service and Construction Contracts, for contractor's responsibility in filing annual reports.
