Abstract:
Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.223-2, Affirmative Procurement of Biobased Products Under Service and Construction Contracts, requires prime contractors to report annually the product types and dollar values of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-designated biobased products purchased. The information reported by prime contractors enables Federal agencies to report annually to the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) concerning actions taken to implement and measure progress in carrying out the preference for biobased products required under section 9002 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, codified at 7 U.S.C. 8102.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The decrease in Items 13 and 14 reflect the use of more recent FPDS information (FY 2016 as opposed to FY 2013). The FPDS number generated from the FPDS search for 2016 was 51,457 unique DUNS numbers (or vendors). This is smaller than the 64,123 number generated by the 2013 FPDS search. This reduction in the number of unique vendors offset the increase of the estimated hourly rate for a GS-13/step 7, which rose from $40.07 per hour to 42.88.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$22,769,722
