Steve Schooner, Jeffery & Martha Kohn associate dean for Academic Affairs and Nash & Cibinic professor of Government Procurement Law at The George Washington University Law School, joines Off the Shelf for a wide-ranging discussion focusing on green acquisition and the role of sustainability policy in the federal procurement market.

Schooner recently received the Coalition for Government Procurement’s Sustainability – Green Excellence Award for his thought leadership on the nexus between federal procurement and sustainability. He outlines key initiatives and policy developments advancing green acquisition in the federal market. He also compares federal green procurement with efforts at the state level and internationally.

Finally Schooner discusses his most recent book recommendation, Craig Whitlock’s Fat Leonard: How One Man Bribed, Bilked and Seduced the U.S. Navy. The book tells the remarkable story of a wide-ranging procurement scandal. It is a cautionary tale of susceptibility, lack of accountability, and individual and organization ethical lapses.
