Bio-Purchase Preference

Attention, federal purchasers of mobile equipment hydraulic fluids, roof and water tank coatings, diesel fuel additives, penetrating lubricants, and bedding, bed linens and towels: It's time to start giving preference to suppliers of bio-based items when buying this stuff, under the provisions of the Federal Bio-Based Products Preferred Procurement Program. (Actually, since there aren't yet two suppliers of bio-based water tank coating materials and bedding and towels, you don't have to start giving preference to bio-products in these categories yet. But still, it's time to start thinking about it.)
