Caltrans has been awarded the Department of General Services’ Gold level for Green Awards.

The Green Awards consider environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP) data, participation in the Performance and Environmental Standards workgroup, and the number of purchasing officials that have taken EPP training.

The award, linked to Caltrans’ Division of Procurement and Contracts (DPACC), reflects the commitment and work of not just DPAC but for Caltrans contract partners and contract managers statewide.

The Department of General Services held its annual State Agency Recognition Awards (SARA) ceremony on April 9.  The awards honor state departments, small business (SB) and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) advocates, and state leadership for outstanding achievements in SB and DVBE advocacy and contracting each fiscal year.

“This accomplishment involves all purchasers and contributes to thed efforts and investment in people, prosperity, and planet!” said DPAC Division Chief David Prizmich.
