For Federal Buyers

FAR 23.107-2 and FAR 19.1406. One purchase order.

Contracting officers sourcing BioPreferred products can satisfy both the biobased preference mandate and SDVOSB set-aside requirements through a single vendor. Audit-ready compliance packets document both mandates at checkout.

FAR 23.107-2

Biobased product preference across 139 mandatory categories

The Federal Acquisition Regulation requires agencies to give preference to USDA-designated biobased products in 139 procurement categories above the micro-purchase threshold. Patriot Bio Supply sources products across these categories from BioPreferred-designated manufacturers, with each order linking to the applicable USDA category designation.

FAR 19.1406

Sole-source and set-aside eligibility through SDVOSB certification

As a VetCert-certified SDVOSB, Patriot Bio Supply qualifies for sole-source awards up to $5M (services) and $8.5M (manufacturing) when only one responsible SDVOSB can be identified. Fewer than 1% of distributors in BioPreferred target categories hold SDVOSB certification.
