About this opportunity

Selling In the Federal Marketplace Federal agencies and their contractors are required to purchase biobased products within categories designated by USDA. The federal government and federal contractor markets represent billions of dollars in purchases annually. Federal buyers and federal contractors seek biobased products that qualify for Preferred Federal Purchasing, that are cost competitive, and that perform well. ( Learn more Selling In the General Marketplace Biobased products that are certified through the BioPreferred ® Program are allowed to display the USDA Certified Biobased Product label on their packaging. This label allows consumers to easily identify that the biobased product has been third-party tested and verified for its percent biobased content. Consider if having your product certified will assist with sales.  ( Learn more BioPreferred® Program Catalog Biobased products that qualify for preferred federal purchasing and/or that are USDA Certified Biobased Products appear in the BioPreferred® Program Catalog .
