Environmentally Preferable Procurement

HELP ME WITH THESE TERMS !
Affirmative Procurement Program
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
Green Purchasing
Preferred Procurement
3
Affirmative Procurement Program Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1976 at Section 6002 established the Affirmative Procurement Program allowing EPA to designate products which Federal agencies would be required to acquire with recycled content
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 established the Biobased Products Procurement Preference Program allowing USDA to designate products which Federal agencies would be required to acquire with biobased content
4
Affirmative Procurement Program
Federal Acquisition Regulation was amended 11/07/2007 to add the Biobased Preference Program to the Affirmative Procurement Program so it became a program allowing EPA and USDA to designate products that Federal agencies are required to acquire with recycled or biobased content.
5
Environmentally Preferable Procurement DOE includes:
Affirmative Procurement plus: Energy Efficiency Programs
EnergyStar and FEMP Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fueled
Vehicles Non-Ozone Depleting Substances Water Efficiency Program i.e. WaterSense Electronic Products Environment Assessment
Tool (EPEAT) Program Sustainable Design/Green Buildings
6
Green Purchasing
Green Purchasing is an Internationally Accepted Term Synonymous with
Environmentally Preferable Procurement
7
Preferred Procurement
Within DOE, the Terms Preferred Procurement and Environmentally Preferable Procurement are Used Interchangeably
8
Opportunity to Buy Green2007 Government-Wide Statistics for the
Purchase Card Program Purchase card spend- $18.7 billion 283,861 cardholders 26.5 million transactions Important to include green purchasing in all purchase
card training and manuals

10
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
Environmentally preferable products or services have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose.
11
Affirmative Procurement The policy and
practice of purchasing goods made with recycled or biobased materials
For Example – Paper with 30% Post Consumer Content
12
Environmentally Preferable Products Include All of These
Alternative fuel vehicles and alternative fuels required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 at http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/
Biobased products designated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the BioPreferred program. Biobased products are those designated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) pursuant to the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, 7 USC 8102. This coverage is part of the Affirmative Procurement Program found at FAR 23.4. USDA maintains a Home Page with the list of designated items at: http://www.biopreferred.gov/ .
Energy from renewable sources required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 at http://www.eere.energy.gov/
13
Environmentally Preferable Products Include All of These
Energy Star® products identified by DOE and EPA at http://www.energystar.gov/ , as well as FEMP-designated energy-efficient products at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/
EPEAT-registered electronic products. The EPEAT initiative is a relatively new initiative added to the Federal Acquisition Regulation in 2008. A Home Page has been established to identify environmentally preferable electronic equipment at: http://www.epeat.net .
Non-ozone depleting substances, as identified in EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Program at http://www.epa.gov/ozone/snap/index.html .
14
Environmentally Preferable Products Include All of These
Products with low or no toxic or hazardous constituents, consistent with section VIII.A of the implementing instructions for Executive Order 13423. Each agency is tasked by the Implementing Instructions to develop goals and a list of toxic chemicals, hazardous substances and other pollutants by January 24, 2008. Information on this is available at http://www.epa.gov/ecotox
Recycled content products designated in EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines at http://www.epa.gov.cpg
Water-efficient products, including those meeting EPA’s Water-Sense standards http://www.epa.gov/watersense/ . EPA has already introduced some water efficient technology advancements but has others in process. More information is available at their Home Page.
15
Affirmative Procurement and Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
When Biobased Products were added DOE was an early adopter of the U.S.D.A. Biobased Products Program
DOE Contracting Activities and Management Contractors were encouraged to acquire biobased products on a voluntary basis in advance of the mandatory biobased preference program
The Biobased Preference Program became effective 11/07/2007. As a practical matter, agencies have a 1 year period to implement as USDA adds new products to their Program.

17
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
Environmentally preferable products or services do one or more of the following:
Minimize the consumption of resources, energy and water
Prevent the creation of solid waste, air pollution or water pollution
Minimize or eliminate the use of materials or processes which compromise the environment (global warming, ozone depletion and acid rain)
Promote the use of non-toxic substances and avoid toxic materials or processes
18
Exemptions According to both statutes, procuring
agencies must procure the designated products unless the product: Is unavailable at a reasonable price Will not meet reasonable performance
standards Is unavailable within a reasonable
timeframe at a sufficient level of competition
