The GSA National Furniture Center (NFC) invites environmentally conscientious business partners to participate in its Evergreen Award program. This program was developed to recognize efforts in recycling, affirmative procurement and waste reduction that can set an example for other NFC business partners to follow. The NFC will present awards in three commodity areas: 1) Furniture, 2) Furnishings and 3) Technologies and Electronics.
