GSA is prioritizing low-carbon selections for the construction materials it identifies as intensive materials for construction and building projects.

On October 4, General Services Administration (GSA) issued a request for information (RFI) to learn more about the availability of domestically manufactured, locally sourced low-carbon construction materials. GSA, often referred to as the federal government's civilian landlord, is a member of the Buy Clean Task Force that is prioritizing low-carbon selections for the construction materials it identifies as intensive materials for construction and building projects. The RFI lists the “high-priority categories” as:

• Concrete, including prefabricated products
• Steel, including structural and rebar
• Flat glass, including window assemblies
• Asphalt
• Aluminum, including curtain walls and storefronts
• Insulation, including enclosure, equipment, piping, and acoustical
• Roofing materials
• Gypsum board
• Structural engineered wood, including mass timber and cross-laminated timber

Interested parties should respond to the RFI by November 3, 2022.
