Strategic Acquisition

Multiple acts of Congress require the Federal Government to use its purchasing power to reduce the negative effects on the environment and promote energy efficiency. As with all agencies there are many environmental, energy, transportation and economic considerations affecting the acquisition process at the Department of Energy (DOE). Federal agencies are required to give preference to products that are energy and water efficient, alternative fuel/fuel-efficient vehicles, non-ozone depleting substances, and made from biobased or recycled content. 

To implement these requirements, agencies refer to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as the primary regulation reference for acquisition of sustainable supplies and services.
