Environmentally Sustainable Acquisition/Logistics
Abstract
The Environmentally Sustainable Acquisition/Logistics (ESAL) Project provides support to the system acquisition community to integrate environmental quality issues and concerns into the life cycle system acquisition process, including human health risks, life safety, material obsolescence due to regulatory pressures, occupational exposures and energy efficiency. This includes helping the acquisition community address high priority issues associated with hexavalent chromium, cadmium and airborne lead. The focus of ESAL is on improving readiness, enabling mission capabilities, improving acquisition processes, reducing supportability burden, and minimizing total ownership cost. The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment has defined the functions of the ESAL project in coordination with the Army Acquisition Executive and the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology). This Project provides direct support to the Army acquisition community to pursue environmental sustainability and comply with legal statutes, policies and regulations during the life cycle of Army materiel. ESAL helps address Army Modernization Priorities, while sustaining readiness and achieving compliance with its weapon systems, industrial base, field and deployed activities directed by international treaties, Federal statutes, Executive Orders, Department of Defense (DoD) and Army policies and regulations.
