Identification of Products with Environmental Attributes; GSAR Section Affected: 552.238-78

Several laws, Executive Orders, and Agency Directives require Federal buyers to purchase products that are less harmful to the environment when they are life cycle cost-effective. As a result, the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) requires contractors that submit offers under Multiple Award Schedule solicitations to highlight environmental products under Federal Supply Schedule contracts in various communications media and to possess evidence or rely on a reasonable basis to substantiate the claim. This information will be used to assist Federal Agencies in meeting their responsibilities under a number of statutes and executive orders, including the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6201 et seq.), the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-486), the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Public Law 101-549), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.), and Executive Orders 12843, 12845, 12873 and 12902.
