Dear Mr.
Jeffries:
This
letter serves as official notification that OSM, Inc. is a participant in the US
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) BioPreferredSM
program. BioPreferred is a Federally managed program that aims to increase the
purchase and use of renewable,
sustainable biobased products. Biobased products are defined by USDA as products
that are composed in whole or
in large part of agricultural or forestry materials. Biobased products may
include plant, animal, and marine
materials.
BioPreferred
works with manufacturers such as OSM, distributors, and large-scale buyers (e.g.
the government and commercial markets) to increase awareness, purchase, and use
of biobased products. OSM manufactures natural cleaners, hand sanitizers, and
agricultural products. These products are identified by USDA as “BioPreferred”
or “BioPreferred-designated items.” You may also identify your products this way
and promote them as such.
Your
cleaning products fall within the BioPreferred “glass and surface cleaners”
category; these products contain biobased content equal to or greater than 49%.
Additionally, OSM’s hand sanitizers fall within the “hand cleaners and
sanitizers” category; these products contain biobased content equal to or
greater than 73%.
One major
way USDA shares information about the BioPreferred designated items is is
through a list of the products on our website. Please visit www.biopreferred.gov
and click on the link for the “Catalog” to view the entries for your designated
items. Only biobased products that meet or exceed the minimum content
established by USDA can be called “BioPreferred” and are listed in this
catalog.
Federal
government agencies, military branches, and Federal contractors must give
preferred purchasing preference for BioPreferred biobased products — various
mandates, policies, and Presidential Executive Orders document this. Over the
coming years, we look forward to working with you to translate government
greening policy into practice and to creating lasting environmental change for
generations to come.

Sincerely,
