The term includes, with respect to forestry materials, forest� products� that meet biobased content requirements, notwithstanding the market share the product holds, the age of the product, or whether the market for the product is new or emerging. (� 7 U.S.C. 8101) (� 7 CFR 3201.2). Recovered material� means waste materials and by-products� recovered or diverted from solid waste, but the term does not include those materials and by-products� generated from, and commonly reused within, an original manufacturing process. (� 42 U.S.C. 6903). Sustainable products and services� means� products� and services that are subject to and meet the following applicable statutory mandates and directives for purchasing: (1)� Statutory purchasing programs. (i)� Products� containing� recovered material� designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Comprehensive� Procurement� Guidelines (� 42 U.S.C. 6962) (� 40 CFR part 247) (� https://www.epa.gov/ smm/ comprehensive-procurement-guideline-cpg-program#products). (ii)� Energy- and water-efficient� products� that are ENERGY STAR® certified or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP)-designated� products� (� 42 U.S.C. 8259b) (� 10 CFR part 436, subpart C) (� https://www.energy.gov/ eere/ femp/ search-energy-efficient-products� and� https://www.energystar.gov/ products? s= mega). (iii)� Biobased products� meeting the content requirement of the USDA under the BioPreferred® program (� 7 U.S.C. 8102) (� 7 CFR part 3201) (� https://www.biopreferred.gov). (iv)� Acceptable chemicals,� products, and manufacturing processes listed under EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, which ensures a safe and smooth transition away from substances that contribute to the depletion of stratospheric ozone (� 42 U.S.C. 7671l) (� 40 CFR part 82, subpart G) (� https://www.epa.gov/ snap). (2)� Required EPA purchasing programs. (i)� WaterSense® labeled (water efficient)� products� and services (� https://www.epa.gov/ watersense/ watersense-products). (ii)� Safer Choice-certified� products� (products� that contain safer chemical ingredients) (� https://www.epa.gov/ saferchoice/ products). (iii)� Product and services that meet EPA Recommendations of Specifications, Standards, and Ecolabels in effect as of October 2023 (� https://www.epa.gov/ greenerproducts/ recommendations-specifications-standards-and-ecolabels-federal-purchasing).

(2)� The Contractor� shall� ensure that the� sustainable products and services� required by this contract are (i)� Delivered to the Government; (ii)� Furnished for use by the Government; (iii)� Incorporated into the� construction� of a public building or public work; and (iv)� Furnished for use in performing services under this contract, where the cost of the� products� is a� direct cost� to this contract (versus costs which are normally applied to the Contractor's general and administrative expenses or� indirect costs). This includes services performed by contractors performing management and operation of Government-owned facilities to the same extent that, at the time of award, an agency would be required to comply if an agency operated or supported the facility. (3)� (i)� Except as provided in paragraph (b)(3)(ii) of this clause,� sustainable products and services� must� meet the applicable standards, specifications, or other program requirements at time of quote or� offer� submission; and (ii)� Sustainable products and services� must� meet the EPA Recommendations of Specifications, Standards, and Ecolabels in effect as of October 2023. (c)� Resource.� The Green� Procurement� Compilation (GPC) available at� https://sftool.gov/ greenprocurement� provides a comprehensive list of� sustainable products and services� and� sustainable acquisition� guidance. The Contractor� should� review the GPC when determining which purchasing programs apply to a specific product or service. End of clause
