Los Angeles County's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy at LA County Code Title 2.205 directs all departments to prioritize recycled-content, energy-efficient, and low-toxicity products. Internal Services manages a zero-emission fleet replacement schedule for county-owned light-duty vehicles.
LA County Code Title 2.205, the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy adopted by the Board of Supervisors, requires all county departments to specify recycled-content paper, EPEAT-rated electronics, low-VOC paints and cleaners, and energy-efficient appliances when issuing solicitations or purchase orders. The Internal Services Department oversees a county fleet plan replacing light-duty sedans, SUVs, and vans with battery-electric or plug-in hybrid models when available. Vendors competing for county contracts disclose product sustainability data, and bid evaluations award scoring credit for low-carbon, locally sourced, and small-business suppliers. Public Works runs parallel procurement standards for construction materials, requiring recycled aggregate and rubberized asphalt where feasible.
Bids that fail to meet mandatory environmental specifications are rejected at evaluation. Contractors making false sustainability claims face debarment under county contracting rules and contract termination, with repayment of paid funds plus liquidated damages.
