Sustainability in Purchasing

Delta College is committed to incorporating environmentally-conscious choices into purchasing and procurement processes.  As part of this effort, requests for quotation, proposal and bids include a request for vendors to provide information on their company's green initiatives and eco-friendly purchasing practices.  Companies that are able to supply environmentally preferable products and services, especially post-consumer recycled materials, that meet performance requirements, will be encouraged to offer them in bids and proposals.

Whenever practical, attention will be given to the environment through the evaluation of this methodology along with performance, life expectancy, quality and value for the money.

Whenever possible, practical and feasible, Delta College will choose products that are:

• the most energy efficient, including Energy Star rated products
• have a high recycled content, especially post-consumer recycled content
• reduce solid waste
• are the least environmentally damaging through their life cycle
• are made or grown locally
