Sustainable Procurement Goal:
Ensure that all Departments of Defense (DOD) and Fort Carson Procurement actions support sustainability by 2027.  The desired end state is that all forms of purchasing have best value considerations that include sustainable principles.  This goal was developed to address not only sustainability, but also compliance.  By purchasing products that do not create compliance issues, Fort Carson can eliminate problems resulting from spills, expensive tracking, and negative results from compliance inspections.  Furthermore Executive order 13101 requires that purchases from federal installations become more sustainable.  
Sustainable purchases include products, materials, and services that are less hazardous, do not cause material to be extracted or harvested in ways that excessively damage ecosystems, are made from recycled materials, are easily recycled, pollute less in their manufacture and use, and use resources that quickly replenish themselves.  The goal for sustainable procurement supports the Zero Waste Goal by creating a demand for recycled goods, thereby closing the circle of products.
