Ebook Selling Energy-Efficient Products to the Federal Government
Submitted by puput on Fri, 08/14/2009 - 02:40The US Government is a major purchaser f products from suppliers throughout the country. Selling to the Federal government is an important outlet for many manufacturers and distributors, from large corporations to small businesses. Companies with energy efficient products and services have special opportunities in the Federal sector. This document highlights the major avenues to becoming a supplier and gives sources of information for private companies to use.
Federal agencies buy energy-efficient products for several reasons, ranging from Federal policies and regulations to economic and environmental benefits. Federal policy and the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) require agencies to buy ENERGY STAR® qualified and FEMP-designated products. In most cases, purchasing energy-efficient products will save the government a significant amount of total ownership cost over the product’s useful life.
