     You might want to check out the Pacific Northwest National Lab's 
     Affirmative Procurement web site:
     
     http://www.pnl.gov/esp/greenguide/index.html
     
     It is mostly oriented towards the procurement process at the National 
     Laboratory, but I think you'll find some useful materials, including a 
     checklist type document. 
     
     I also highly recommend the King County (WA) Recycled Product 
     Procurement Program's site:
     
     http://www.metrokc.gov/oppis/recycprg.html
     
     They don't have any checklists that I know of, but they do have sample 
     procurement contract language, policies, etc.
     
     Hope this helps.

A company has asked me to check if anyone has a good 
"checklist" they can use when procuring new products.  I would 
guess the list would have various material management questions 
such as check the MSDS, review various regs, look at handling, 
storage and disposal options, etc.
We have some basic "P2:" checklists, but I am looking for 
something a little "broader" in use.
     
Thanks.
