Controlled wood does not count in LEED - it is non-certified wood that has been controlled to a risk assessment process set up by FSC and deemed eligible as an input to FSC Mix products - it is against FSC rules to promote it in the marketplace as an alternative to FSC-certified materials, so the vendor is in violation of the relevant FSC standard and should be sanctioned by their FSC auditor.
