Orlando's sustainable procurement directive requires city departments to favor energy-efficient products, recycled-content materials, and green-certified construction for municipal capital projects, with LEED Silver minimums for new city-owned buildings over a square-footage threshold.
Under Orlando's green procurement and Green Works framework, all new municipal buildings exceeding the established square-footage threshold must achieve LEED Silver certification or equivalent. Departments must specify Energy Star, WaterSense, and recycled-content products when life-cycle pricing is comparable. Vendors competing for major contracts submit sustainability plans covering fleet emissions, packaging, and waste diversion. The policy applies to city operations only and does not bind private developers, though some incentives are extended through expedited permitting and density bonuses tied to sustainable design.
Non-compliant departments face procurement-office rejection of purchase orders and Council oversight; no resident penalties apply since the policy governs internal city contracting.
