Santa Ana directs municipal departments to prefer recycled-content, energy-efficient, and low-emission products when purchasing goods and services, supporting CAP implementation through internal procurement standards.
The City's purchasing rules direct departments to give preference to ENERGY STAR equipment, recycled-content paper, low-VOC paints, and zero-emission fleet vehicles where lifecycle cost is comparable. The policy is internal, applying to city contracts and capital purchases rather than private buyers. Vendors bidding on city contracts may be asked to disclose recycled content or emissions data, and bid evaluations can weight sustainability alongside price under California Public Contract Code authority.
Internal policy only; non-compliance handled administratively through procurement review, not citations against the public.
