To assist in the development of effective guidelines, GSA requires a contractor to analyze environmental standards and eco-labels to determine the extent to which they meet the guidelines developed by the working group. The Contractor shall analyze the greatest number of environmental standards and eco-labels possible using the scope of its data, access to eco-labeling programs, existing technical platform, expertise and experience. GSA requires the contractor to first analyze the guidelines using the information currently available in its database then report its findings by June 4, 2011.

Once presented with the final set of guidelines from the working group, the contractor shall analyze all of the final guidelines against a sample of standards and labels selected by the workgroup. The contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any additional information needed to complete the analysis and shall report its findings by July 18, 2011.
