AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal program that requires agencies to buy biobased products, which are products made wholly or partly from plant, farm, or forestry materials. Federal agencies would have to raise the number or volume of biobased-only contracts each year, and federal guidelines would set price preferences for biobased products and promote those made in the United States. Agencies would have to train purchasing staff within 2 years, and the General Services Administration would update federal catalogs to clearly mark eligible biobased products. The Office of Federal Procurement Policy would collect and publish agency purchasing data each year and verify agency compliance. The Government Accountability Office would report to Congress within 2 years on how the program is working.
