Bexar County applies sustainable procurement preferences for paper, cleaning supplies, and fleet vehicles through its Purchasing Department. The policy is administrative guidance rather than a binding ordinance and does not bind private contractors outside county work.
The Bexar County Purchasing Department maintains internal sustainable procurement guidance prioritizing recycled-content paper, green-certified cleaning chemicals, and low-emission fleet replacements where lifecycle costs are competitive. Purchasing solicitations may include EPEAT, Energy Star, or WaterSense preferences. The guidance is administrative and does not appear as a binding chapter in the Code of Ordinances. County contractors performing facilities work follow specifications case by case. Private businesses and residents in unincorporated Bexar County are not bound by the policy. Texas competitive bidding law under Local Government Code 262 limits how strictly the county can prefer green vendors over low bidders.
Failure to follow internal guidance is a procurement matter handled by the Purchasing Department, not a public penalty against vendors or residents.
