Florida Acquisition Requirements
Fuel-Efficient Vehicle Acquisition and Alternative Fuel Use Requirements
When procuring new vehicles under a state purchasing plan, all state agency, state university, community college, and local government fleets must select the vehicle with the greatest fuel efficiency available for a given use class. Exceptions may be made for emergency responder vehicles when documentation is provided. In addition, all state agencies must use ethanol and biodiesel blended fuels when available. State agencies administering central fueling operations for state-owned vehicles must procure ethanol and biodiesel fuels to use in their vehicle fleet to the greatest extent possible. (Reference House Bill 7135, 2008)
