ZEV PURCHASE ORDERS & ABBREVIATED ZEV ACQUISITION PROCESS - 4121.5

ZEV Purchase Orders

To ensure approved ZEVs are purchased and agencies comply with applicable annual ZEV purchasing requirements, purchase orders for ZEVs must be issued within the same fiscal year or three months after receiving a FAP approval, whichever is later.

Abbreviated ZEV Acquisition Process

To expedite the purchase of ZEVs OFAM has established an abbreviated FAP process for ZEV requests that can be submitted separate from an agency’s full FAP. To use the expedited ZEV process agencies will need to submit a completed Fleet Acquisition Plan Spreadsheet listing all the ZEVs being requested to be purchased. In addition, agencies will need to provide a completed and signed Fleet Acquisition Certification for the ZEV vehicles. Expedited ZEV requests shall include the same level of justification for additional vehicles and meet the disposition criteria for vehicle replacements. ZEV requests processed under this method will be approved by the Chief of OFAM. ZEV purchases approved through this process will be reconciled with the agency’s full FAP to ensure overall compliance.
