## Summary

**Expand federal support for biobased products.** This bill would strengthen USDA's BioPreferred program by boosting federal procurement, standardizing labels for biobased and bio‑attributed products, adding lifecycle greenhouse gas rules, and creating a cross‑agency task force to promote rural manufacturing. - Producers and manufacturers would get more federal demand through updated procurement rules, new price premiums by product type, and public marketing funds. The biobased sector employed about 3.9 million people in 2021 and roughly 2,600 products carry the USDA label. - Federal procurement offices and agencies would face new reporting and verification duties, required updates to purchasing databases (SAM, GSA Advantage!, FedMall), and procurement staff training within two years. - Consumers, rural communities, and small businesses would see clearer labeling rules that ban misuse of terms like "biobased" and protect confidential business data, plus outreach and a USDA-led task force to study opportunities for rural and agricultural markets.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Stronger federal buying of biobased products: benefit, medium. If enacted, federal agencies would need to buy more biobased-only items each year. Within 2 years, buying systems and catalogs (FPDS, SAM, GSA Advantage!, FedMall) would be updated, and staff would get training. Agencies would file expanded reports, and OFPP would verify and post results each year.…
- Biobased labels and marketing support: mixed, low. If enacted, USDA could run public marketing and education for biobased products. It could accept non‑Federal money in a special account, controlled by USDA and available until used, without another appropriation. USDA would post a way to report fake label use within 120 days and publish a first ann…
