Tips on ways to improve your department’s EPP program.

Implement a refillable pen policy. Only purchase refillable pens for your office and ensure that only pen refills are primarily purchased for your office.
Use the “Green Book” from Office Depot when purchasing office supplies.
Review your contract specifications and see if there are EPP options to test out. Ensure that products meet working standards. Contact GSD Procurement Services with any bid specification changes.
Implement the use of an EPP subtask code to track purchases. Click here for a sample memo to your Department's purchasing staff.
Track EPP purchases as you make payments using direct expenditures, purchasing cards, and petty cash. See here for a sample.
