Westchester County requires departments to prioritize environmentally preferable products, recycled-content paper, EnergyStar equipment, and low-emission vehicles when feasible, under its sustainable procurement administrative directive tied to Chapter 700.
The county's sustainable procurement policy directs purchasing agents to specify recycled-content, low-VOC, EnergyStar, and EPEAT-certified products when life-cycle costs are reasonable. Vehicle purchases must consider hybrid or electric options first, and cleaning contracts must use Green Seal certified products. The policy applies to county agencies, not to private residents or businesses, but contractors selling to the county must disclose product certifications during bidding under standard procurement rules.
Non-compliant bids may be rejected or rescored during procurement. Contractors who misrepresent green certifications may be debarred under standard county vendor-integrity rules.
