I have several products that are specified for my project which are from the same manufacturer. For example, the same manufacturer makes the carpet and the laminate flooring. This manufacturer has an extended producer responsibility program. Do both products contribute to this credit or can you only use each manufacturer once?

If the products are unique product (see this guidance for help identifying unique products: https://www.usgbc.org/resources/does-item-count-product), then yes it will count towards multiple products regardless of manufacturer. However this particular credit is cost based so it doesn't really matter if it's unique or not it will still count the same towards this credit. Since the materials list populates across the BPDO credits, materials should be listed by unique products as otherwise it would be easy to double count a product in another credit.
