Does the institution have an institution-wide stated preference to purchase computers and/or other electronic products that are EPEAT registered or meet similar multi-criteria sustainability standards for electronic products?:
A copy of the electronics purchasing policy, directive, or guidelines:
The electronics purchasing policy, directive, or guidelines :
All electronic purchases on campus must be authorized by our campus Information Technology Services (ITS). Departments have three annual opportunities to buy PC systems: winter (December), spring (May - for current year monies), and summer (June - for following year monies). ITS assures that all computer purchases comply with Wisconsin State electronic contracts. When these contracts go out to bid they specify energy efficiency and quality standards that generally fit with EPEAT. Campus further selects models that all meet EPEAT Gold from the approved vendors.
A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed:
No State (University funds) can be used to purchase electronics that are not approved through the ITS process. The Purchase Requisition or credit card expense will be denied by the Purchasing Office without proper ITS authorization.
In the last three years, all of our computer purchases were rated EPEAT Gold:
800 series desktops 800 G1 and G2
810 revolve tablets g1,g2,g3
840 elitebooks g1 and g2
850 elitebooks g1 and g2
