Miami-Dade GreenPrint sustainability plan and Administrative Order 3-37 direct departments to favor environmentally preferable products, recycled content, and energy-efficient equipment in county purchases.
Administrative Order 3-37 establishes the county environmentally preferable purchasing program. County buyers must consider life-cycle costs, recycled content, Energy Star ratings, low-VOC products, and water efficiency when evaluating bids. Internal Services Department maintains preferred-product lists for paper, cleaning supplies, fleet vehicles, and electronics. The GreenPrint plan sets goals for renewable energy in county operations, fleet electrification, and zero-waste targets at county facilities. The policy applies to county departments, not private contracts, but contractors selling to the county must disclose sustainability attributes.
Non-compliant procurement decisions can be challenged internally; vendors providing false sustainability claims face contract termination and debarment.
