Biobased Products: New Government Procurement Rules and Domestic Production Support

This act aims to increase the use of biobased products (derived from plants and other renewable sources) by government agencies. This means greater support for agriculture and industries producing such products in the U.S., potentially leading to new jobs and innovations. Citizens may see more environmentally friendly products in public spaces and support for the local economy.
Key points
Government agencies will be required to annually increase their purchases of biobased products, creating a stable market for producers.
Price preferences will be established for biobased products, especially those made in the U.S., which could lower their costs for the government and increase competitiveness.
Procurement officers will need to complete training on purchasing biobased products, and federal catalogs will be updated to clearly identify eligible items.
The act promotes biobased products produced wholly or in part within the United States, supporting domestic manufacturing and job creation.
