Energy-Saving Strategies for Federal Procurement

Abstract

This report discusses what Federal agencies have done to develop and implement procurement techniques which result in reduced energy consumption. The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) has issued a policy letter, and the Department of Defense and the General Services Administration have added a general policy statement to their procurement regulations. But Federal procuring agencies have not developed specific procedures for considering energy in the procurement process. This report identifies potential procurement practices for reducing energy use and suggests what OFPP could do to ensure that such practices are implemented.
