A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
In 2010, the CU system conducted a strategic purchasing RFP for computer purchases for the entire 4-campus system. The language in the RFP regarding EPEAT is as follows:
The University wishes to purchase Computer Hardware that is Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Silver and/or Gold certified. Offerors are encouraged to propose EPEAT certified Computer Hardware. The chosen vendor submitted a proposal supplying 9 out of 10 EPEAT products for the university.
While strategic purchasing agreements are not mandatory, they are effective in highlighting desired environmental attributes and providing chosen equipment or services at reduced costs, which makes them attractive to campus purchasers. This is the first year for the program, so measurement of effectiveness will occur next year.
