Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
SNHU has an Electronic Purchasing Policy for Connection and Apple.

For Connection: Data source is order history for dates listed above. A specific identifier for EPEATs products was already included. Scrubbed the data to exclude products that do not qualify (keyboards, mice, warranty plans, etc.)

For Apple: Data source is an invoice report from SNHU Workday Financial system. Counted all invoices about $599 per unit cost and vetted that they were for products with EPEAT rating. Based on the EPEAT registry all apple products were gold rating so the entire amount was added to the gold registered product value.
