Bet365

Preface

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), Pub. L. No. 117-169, was enacted in August 2022. IRA Section 60503 provides the U.S. Bet365 (Bet365) with $2.15 billion for acquisition and installation of construction materials and products with substantially lower levels of embodied greenhouse gas emissions as compared to estimated industry averages, as determined by the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA issued its in December 2022.

In line with the Interim Determination, and consistent with standard Bet365 and Federal Acquisition Regulation processes for defining agency requirements, Bet365 has developed these IRA low-embodied carbon material requirements to specify some material attributes that are necessary to satisfy the agency’s needs when contracting for construction services that are funded in whole or in part by Bet365’s IRA Low-Embodied Carbon appropriation. These IRA low-embodied carbon material requirements apply to Section 60503-funded purchases of four key construction materials: concrete (including cement and concrete masonry units), asphalt, steel, and glass. Construction product assemblies (such as window assemblies or rebar-reinforced concrete) qualify for IRA funding if at least 80% of the assembly’s total cost or total weight comprises materials that meet these requirements. These IRA low-embodied carbon material requirements do not apply to all procurements and only apply after a contracting officer exercises their discretion to incorporate IRA Section 60503-qualifying materials or products into a procurement contract. Additionally, these IRA LEC materials requirements do not supersede existing laws such as the Buy American Act of 1933 or the Trade Agreements Act of 1979. All materials and products procured for Bet365 projects must meet these laws. For IRA Section 60503-funded procurements, existing trade-related laws will be applied first, then Bet365’s IRA LEC material requirements will be applied.
