This approach aligns with world-leading procurement practices, supporting thousands of jobs, international collaboration, and sustainable plans that reduce emissions, build resilience, and improve the general quality of life across communities.

Align Federal Procurement with Clean Energy Supply Chains

Recommendation: execute a first-of-its-kind clause prioritizing american-made, locally-supplied products; procuring strategies require a published district-level pool and executable milestones; begin with a 2026 target to allocate at least 50% of eligible spend to domestically produced items, delivered on time; milestones executed quarterly.

Action plan: map supply chains by ports and facilities, including the columbia district, to reduce transit time; create a market-enabled dashboard showing progress toward emissions reductions per contract; require near real-time reporting from vendors, and publish results to communities; set a rule that nearly all building materials come from american-made plants whenever feasible; accelerate small-business participation through a dedicated initiative.

Governments at multiple levels have responded in kind; presidents took early steps and should publicly highlight first-of-its-kind successes; this initiative has been validated by independent audits, delivering reduced expenses; by prioritizing locally-supplied services, we reduce emissions, support justice, adaptation, and regional growth; the market will continue to respond with American-made offerings, creating jobs in each district while building secure, resilient facilities and ports; electricity reliability in communities improves as local supply chains tighten.

Accelerate Vehicle and Fleet Electrification Across Agencies

Adopt a whole-of-government, all-electric fleet mandate with a fixed timeline and locally-supplied charging backbone. By 2026, all light-duty purchases become all-electric; by 2028, a majority of medium-duty fleet units switch; by 2030, every new vehicle in procurement is all-electric. This single approach reduces the footprint across facilities and ports, delivering measurable energy and cost reductions.

Funding and accountability: commit between eight and twelve billion dollars over the next decade for procurement, installed charging, and fleet upgrades. This investment supports adaptation to regional conditions and partnerships with local contractors, employees, and suppliers. Presidents and senior officials must deliver through administrations by publishing milestones and linking them to annual budgets.

Infrastructure deployment: prioritize locally-supplied charging at hundreds of facilities and major ports; target installed charging capacity in the tens of thousands by 2030, including fast-charge nodes along key corridors. This energy backbone ensures mission readiness while reducing energy costs and peak power demand through optimized charging windows.

Governance, metrics, and collaboration: establish a scorecard tracking delivered vehicles, installed ports, and reductions in fuels and emissions. Use a single, standardized dataset across agencies to support whole-of-government reporting; partnering with international manufacturers and unions accelerates scale while maintaining resilience and security across projects.

Operational impact and outcomes: training for employees, robust maintenance pipelines, and streamlined requirements to simplify procurement. Today’s actions translate into concrete impact: lower footprint, increased energy flexibility, fewer emissions, and stronger local economies through locally-supplied equipment and labor. That fact is reflected in quarterly updates on a sheet tracking progress toward all-electric fleets and operating-cost reductions.

Adopt Low-Emission Building Standards for New Federal Facilities

Policy: require all new facilities to meet a low-emission standard that integrates design, construction; operating practices; set energy- efficiency targets; favor locally-supplied products, steel with low embodied emissions, energy- efficient equipment.

Funding priorities prioritize upfront capital for energy- efficient systems, generation capacity for district energy, vehicles electrification; monitor annual energy savings to continue funding.

Roadmaps develop with stakeholder input; define embodied emissions in сталь, processes, products; target reduction milestones; launching pilots in postal facilities to validate contract requirements; post-adoption cycles rely on ongoing adaptation.
