Greening State Procurement

Discover state departments' progress to buy Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) goods and services. EPP purchases enhance energy, water efficiency and promote natural resource conservation. Departments are encouraged to track purchases to measure progress in meeting waste diversion and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals outlined in Executive Order B-18-12.

This graph represents the state’s progress towards increasing EPP Spend. Departments can look to DGS EPP designated contracts for green commodities, DGS purchasing standards and recognize third-party certifications in their solicitations to achieve a green buy. To access these documents go to the Buying Green Guide.
