Sustainable Product Demonstrations
The Department of Defense (DoD) Sustainable Technology Evaluation and Demonstration (STED) Program identifies sustainable product need areas through outreach activities to DoD Installations, Military Departments and DoD Components. The DoD STED Program reviews these need areas to identify sustainable product demonstration opportunities. The DoD STED Team then examines performance requirements, identifies sustainable demonstration products and performs product demonstrations in coordination with demonstration stakeholders.
Demonstration Stakeholders
- Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Energy, Installations and Environment)(OASD[EI&E])
- Installation personnel (leadership, environmental, procurement, logistics, end users)
- DoD Components (e.g., Military Departments, Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Health Agency), Service Commands, Engineering Activities, and Program Managers
- Participating Federal Agencies (e.g., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security)
- Specification custodians, preparing activities, and qualification activities
- Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)
- Sustainable product manufacturers
- Industry Associations
- General Services Administration (GSA)
Demonstration Approach
- Identify product need areas / applications through outreach to DoD installations, Military Departments and DoD Components
- Engage DoD installations as potential demonstration sites
- Identify associated equipment and processes
- Work with Stakeholders to establish requirements for candidate demonstration products
- Identify potential demonstration products and engage product manufacturers
- Evaluate products against established requirements to select candidates for demonstration
- Develop a demonstration plan to outline demonstration activities, target technical requirements, site preparation and equipment requirements, procedures and parameters, data collection procedures, demonstration schedule and responsibilities of all organizations involved in the demonstrations
- Coordinate demonstration activities and compile demonstration results
- Develop a demonstration report to document demonstration activities, analyze collected data, and provide the results of the demonstration
- Engage GSA or DLA to facilitate establishment of National Stock Numbers and award schedules for successfully demonstrated sustainable products
- Perform outreach activities to increase the awareness of sustainable products across DoD
