This week LivingECHO.com received approval to bid on contracts for the local, state and federal governments as the demand for sustainable and energy efficient materials is on the rise. In conjunction with the approval, LivingECHO also received it’s small business status from the SBA in order to receive additional benefits from the state and federal government.

This approval comes at the heels of a bid that was approved for the LACCD two weeks ago that established LivingECHO as a supplier for the city of Los Angeles.

This also represents the first known supplier relationship between the city of Los Angeles and a green online-only retailer. This recent development is proving that LivingECHO’s B-2-B shopping portal will be a powerhouse in the online commerce community.

LivingECHO will release its B-2-B shopping portal to the public in the fall of 2009 making it the first true comparison shopping website that businesses and governments can use to source their sustainable products to support their projects, events and resale needs.
