On behalf of BIFMA, the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association, I would like to apply to participate in the Pilot Project Assessment of Environmental Performance Standards and Ecolabels for Federal Procurement.
BIFMA is an ANSI standards development organization and trade association for the office furniture industry (www.bifma.org). We have assembled a cross-disciplinary team of subject matter experts from the multi-stakeholder group that developed the ANSI/BIFMA e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard and the principals responsible for creation of the "level" Certification Program and logo, or "mark", to assist with the pilot.
The BIFMA standard was developed in partnership with NSF International:

level, the ecolabel program, provides conformity assessment to the standard by independent certification bodies:
http://levelcertified.org
We look forward to submitting the standard and ecolabel program for assessment as a part of the pilot project.
Sincerely,
Brad Miller
Director of Advocacy & Sustainability
