Acquisition and Electronics Stewardship, Product Purchasing
Title	Legal Authority	Originating Legislation	Summary
Supplier Emissions Tracking	E.O. 14057 Sec 302		Major Federal contractors will publicly report their annual corporate-level GHG emissions and set targets to reduce them. Major contractors will also disclose climate risks and vulnerabilities that may affect their future economic stability or their ability to deliver goods and services that are critical to Federal agency missions. These requirements will improve the resilience of Federal supply chains to increasing climate risks, strengthen the competitive position of American companies, and help to reduce contract costs through increased efficiency.

Buy Clean	E.O. 14057 Sec 303		Production of high-volume materials associated with the construction of buildings and infrastructure, especially concrete and steel, is a major source of global GHG emissions. Reducing these emissions, referred to as "embodied" emissions because they are emitted during the manufacture of purchased products, is a critical piece of reducing emissions in the Federal supply chain.

Definitions	42 U.S.C. § 8259b(b)	EPAct 2005 § 104	Definitions under 42 U.S.C. § 8259b(b) says that an "ENERGY STAR product" is rated for energy efficiency under an ENERGY STAR program. A "designated product" is designated under the Federal Energy Management Program as being among the highest 25% of equivalent products for energy efficiency. The term "product" does not include any energy consuming product or system designed or procured for combat or combat-related missions.

ENERGY STAR and FEMP-Designated Products Procurement Requirements	42 U.S.C. § 8259b(b)	EPAct 2005 § 104	ENERGY STAR and FEMP-Designated Products Procurement Requirements under 42 U.S.C. § 8259b(b) says that Federal agencies are required to incorporate energy-efficiency criteria consistent with ENERGY STAR and Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) designated products for all procurements involving energy-consuming products and services. Agencies are exempt from procuring ENERGY STAR products or FEMP-designated products if: An ENERGY STAR product or FEMP-designated product is not cost-effective over the life of the product, taking energy cost savings into account No ENERGY STAR product or FEMP-designated product is reasonably available that meets the functional requirements of the agency.

Sustainable Acquisition and Procurement	E.O. 14057 Sec 208		The Federal Government will maximize procurement of sustainable products and services, including ENERGY STAR rated equipment; products that are bio-based, made from recycled content, water-efficient, fuel-efficient, made with safer chemical ingredients, and non-ozone-depleting; and products that have earned third-party ecolabels reviewed and recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency. Additionally, agencies should avoid the procurement of products containing perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
