Is there a way, outside creating another pilot program, to update the spreadhseet for the Purchasing - Ongoing credit?
1. Food Alliance is no longer a viable entity. Has not been since late 2014.
2. There are numerous federally recognized sustainable forestry certifiers that are not on the spreadsheet such as the Sustainable Forest Initiave and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification are 3 that come to mind immediately.
3. If you use sustainable agriculture and it is locally sourced, it doubles the amount... I would recommend adding a note that it is one or the other...
Finally - where would I input my "other (specify)" there is no spot that I can find.

It's up to USGBC. You would request a LEED Interpretation, which would force a definite reply from them, but keeping LEED updated with changes in program availability is not a new problem and they can move slowly.
And of course USGBC has stuck, per member input, to an FSC-only policy on forestry, though that has loosened up a bit recently with the Legal Wood pilot credit.
