A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
All computers purchased through the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) Purchasing Department are to be EPEAT silver or gold certified. In addition, the UNH Computer Store has contracts with Dell and Apple for resale of computers. All computers stocked by the UNH Computer Store are EPEAT silver (all Dells) or gold (all Apple) certified.
In Spring 2010 the Energy Task Force followed up on recommended policies set forth by WildCAP (UNH's Climate Action Plan) describing UNH's commitment to the EPEAT Purchasing Requirements in accordance with the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). This policy has been in place since 2006 as "strongly recommended" but became policy July 1, 2010.
At present, compliance cannot be enforced for purchases made by departments via purchasing cards ("P-Cards"), but there is a strong understanding that there is such a policy in place.
