About this file
This document is a Green Procurement Memorandum from Vladimir Stoyanov (Contracting Officer) to Sharon Pierce (Supervisory Contract Specialist) regarding the Department of Veterans Affairs contract opportunity VA36C24226Q0095 for a Sewage Ejector Pump replacement. The memorandum critically highlights non-compliance with Executive Order 13693's green procurement requirements, specifically noting that neither the design engineer nor the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) followed the mandated green procurement guidelines from the VA's green resources website or the sustainable procurement tool (sftool.gov).
The contract involves a sewage ejector pump replacement for the Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 2, with the memorandum dated 05/20/2021. The key issue raised is the complete absence of green procurement implementation strategies in the project's documentation, design, and procurement packages, which represents a significant deviation from federal sustainability procurement mandates outlined in Executive Order 13693.
