Department of Defense Green Procurement Program Strategy

Abstract

This document formally established the Department of Defense's (DoD) Green Procurement Program (GPP) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 and provides an agency-wide strategy for implementing an effective program. The purpose of the DoD GPP is to enhance and sustain mission readiness through cost effective acquisition that achieves compliance and reduces resource consumption and solid and hazardous waste generation. Green procurement includes the acquisition of: - recycled content products, - environmentally preferable products and services, - biobased products, energy- and water-efficient products, - alternate fuel vehicles and alternative fuels, - products using renewable energy, and - alternatives to hazardous or toxic chemicals. Green procurement practices also play a key role in enhancing transportation efficiency and sustainable buildings. The GPP applies to all acquisitions from major systems programs to individual unit supply and service requisitions.
