To Acquisition Training Page | To ACP Home Page All purchase card holders, card approving officials, project officers and acquisition staff in job series 1102, 1105 and 1106 are required to take Green Purchasing training every two years. In addition, Green Purchasing training every two years is required to maintain acquisition certification at all certification levels. Green purchasing refers to federal requirements to purchase recycled content products, energy-efficient products and renewable energy technologies, alternative fuel vehicles and alternative fuels, biobased products, environmentally preferable products and services, and non-ozone depleting substances.
There are two versions of the Green Purchasing training available via webcast: A one hour version for Purchase Card Holders and Card Approving Officials, and a two hour version for Acquisition staff (1102s and 1105s).
The one hour version is available at http://videocast.nih.gov/launch.asp?12600 Green Purchasing for Purchase Card Holders (HHS-Only)
