The Green Brief

Environmental intelligence worth sharing.

Short briefings that answer one procurement question each, with every claim cited, for contracting teams, SDVOSB firms and facility buyers.

Publication stance

Make the environment operational, visual, and worth forwarding.

Every briefing should leave a buyer, manufacturer, or prime contractor with a clearer decision, a better question, or a cleaner artifact for the next conversation.

Regulatory Updates

Which FAR Part 23 applies to a biobased purchase?

Thirty-one agencies apply a revised FAR Part 23 that has no section 23.107-2. The rest apply the codified text, which still points at a removed USDA rule. The clause numbers are the same in both. Cite the text the buying agency applies.
