The USDA BioPreferred® Program designates categories for federal purchasing as well as identifies certification categories for the voluntary labeling initiative. Unique biobased content minimums have been established as part of the process of designating categories for federal purchasing preference. Categories that only fall under the voluntary labeling initiative have a minimum biobased content of 25%.
The list below includes all certification product categories. Categories also designated for federal purchasing preference are identified with the "FP" symbol and can be filtered by selecting the check box below. The list below includes all certification product categories. Categories also designated for federal purchasing preference are identified with the "FP" symbol and can be filtered by selecting the check box below. FP categories can also be viewed using the Functional Categories list.
If you do not believe your product fits into any of the categories currently identified by the USDA BioPreferred Program, you may put your product in the "Other" category (not listed below) and Suggest a New Product Category. Final decision of category selection will be determined during application review.
For more information on biobased content and how it is calculated, please review the presentation on Understanding Biobased Content.
If you are purchasing for the Federal Government and unable to find the product you need, please let us know here.
