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) clause 552.238-78 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 order, 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 Order 13834.
