Item I—Sustainable Procurement (FAR
Case 2022–006)
This final rule amends the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to
restructure and update FAR part 23 to
focus on current environmental and
sustainability matters and to implement
a requirement for agencies to procure
sustainable products and services to the
maximum extent practicable. As a result
of this rule, content related to
sustainable products and services,
energy savings performance contracts,
hazardous and radioactive materials,
pollution prevention at Federal
facilities, and greenhouse gases are
consolidated into single subparts at FAR
subpart 23.1, 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and 23.5,
respectively. Non-environmental
matters, to include requirements for a
drug-free workplace and encouraging
contractors to ban texting while driving,
are moved to FAR part 26. The existing

Protection Agency (EPA) purchasing
program requirements (previously
implemented in FAR subparts 23.2,
23.4, 23.7, and 23.8) are consolidated in
FAR subpart 23.1. This rule will require
agencies to specify in the statement of
work, or elsewhere in the contract, the
sustainable products and services,
including the purchasing programs and
types of products or services, that are
applicable to the acquisition. A new
omnibus contract clause at FAR 52.223–
23, Sustainable Products and Services,
will require contractors to ensure the
sustainable products and services
identified in the contract are delivered,
incorporated, or furnished under the
contract. The rule also updates agency
requirements for construction and
architect-engineer contracts at FAR
36.104(b)(1) to align with the Council on
Environmental Quality’s Guiding
Principles for Federal Leadership in
High-Performance and Sustainable
Buildings. The final rule may have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
who compete on Federal contracts.
These entities will need to ensure that
they are offering and delivering
sustainable products and services, as
specified in agency solicitations and
contracts.
