About this file
This file is a Green Purchasing Report Template sample spreadsheet designed for use by Maryland state agencies and vendors to document and track sustainable commodity and service purchases. The template facilitates quarterly reporting of expenditures across multiple product and service categories, including construction and maintenance, electronic and IT products, food service, janitorial supplies, lighting products, office supplies, paints and coatings, and landscaping supplies. Vendors and agencies are required to complete mandatory fields marked with asterisks, including invoice date, vendor name, purchasing agency, product category, manufacturer name, product number, product description, material type, product weight, unit price, quantity, unit of measurement, and extended price. The reporting period is divided into four quarters (Q1: July-September, Q2: October-December, Q3: January-March, Q4: April-June), with submission required on a quarterly basis.
The template requires comprehensive documentation of environmental attributes and third-party certifications to verify sustainable product and service claims. Vendors must provide links to certification documentation, registry references, or product catalogs to substantiate environmental claims, and must report post-consumer recycled content percentages and total recycled content information. The template includes an extensive ecolabel reference guide containing over 50 recognized environmental certifications applicable to different product categories, including ENERGY STAR, EPEAT, Green Seal, UL GREENGUARD, WaterSense, USDA BioPreferred, and Forest Stewardship Council certifications, along with hyperlinks to verification databases and registries for each certification. This reporting structure supports Maryland's green purchasing initiatives and enables agencies to track progress toward sustainability goals across their procurement activities.
