Working Together for a Sustainable Supply Program

VPF’s Strategic Sourcing team recently conducted a competitive bid process for an office supply vendor with a focus on sustainable products. Through that process, VPF realized an increased commitment to sustainability from a familiar partner—Staples. VPF and Staples are now working together to augment our current office supply program with a stronger, measurable focus on sustainability. This updated program will begin on July 1.

In 2018, MIT adopted the Uniform Guidance framework for its purchasing policy for all purchases made at the Institute. VPF implemented these Uniform Guidance procurement standards and introduced a new online Selection of Source form to document the steps taken when selecting a supplier for purchases exceeding $10,000.
