The Green Procurement Compilation identifies all applicable sustainable acquisition requirements by consolidating and organizing information from Federal environmental programs in one place.

In accordance with FAR Part 23, federal agencies are required to purchase sustainable products and services to the maximum extent practicable. In accordance with FAR 23.103(b), this includes products under contract actions for services or construction if the products are-

• Delivered to the Government;
• Furnished by the contractor for use by the Government;
• Incorporated into the construction of a public building or public work; or
• Acquired by the contractor for use in performing services under a Government contract where the cost of the products is a direct cost to a Government contract (versus costs which are normally applied to a contractor's general and administrative expenses or indirect costs).

For example, custodial service contracts should require the use of sustainable cleaning products and the supply of recycled content or biobased paper products, plastic trash bags, and other applicable items.

Sustainable products and services means products and services that are subject to and meet the applicable statutory purchasing programs and required EPA purchasing programs. Sustainable products and services are identified in the statement of work or elsewhere in the contract, including the purchasing program and type of product or service that are applicable.

For more information, see: FAR Part 23.103 and Executive Order (E.O.) 14057, Catalyzing American Clean Energy Industries and Jobs through Federal Sustainability.

SFTool Product Search is searchable by Product Category, Brand, Federal Program, and Standard or Ecolabel.

Products show up on SFTool Product Search when they conform to a set of product category requirements as outlined by the EPA, DOE, and GSA. All product data in SFTool Product Search comes directly and automatically from the relevant certification organizations. When products don't appear, it is often because there is not a product category requirement for the item. If a product fails to appear even when there is a stated product category requirement in the Green Procurement Compilation, it may be because we have not yet built out the relevant category in our system.

SFTool Product Search displays products that comply with federal environmental requirements, which are gathered within the Green Procurement Compilation. The products listed in SFTool Product Search are provided by ecolabel registries. If your product is not listed, it may be because there are currently no federal environmental requirements for your product category. When federal requirements are added, products complying with the requirements as provided by ecolabel registries would automatically be listed.

SFTool features information about Life Cycle Perspective (Life Cycle Thinking), including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Tools for Buildings and LCA Example.
