### What is Executive Order (E.O.) 14081 and how can I access the required biobased training for purchase card/account holders and managers?
[E.O. 14081](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/09/12/executive-order-on-advancing-biotechnology-and-biomanufacturing-innovation-for-a-sustainable-safe-and-secure-american-bioeconomy/) (Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy) expands market opportunities for bioenergy and biobased products and services. It also includes Section 6(b), which states that “Procuring agencies shall require that all appropriate staff (including contracting officers, purchase card managers, and purchase card holders) complete training on biobased product purchasing within 2 years of the date of this order. The Office of Federal Procurement Policy, within OMB, in cooperation with the Secretary of Agriculture, shall provide training materials for procuring agencies.” Go to the [Biobased Products Purchase Card Holder Training Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP0UBaBnA_Y) to review and complete the required training.
