The Mission Statement

A strong and diverse supply chain creates competition, cost savings, innovation, and economic growth in the communities where we live and work. 

The Office for Supplier Diversity (OSD) supports small and underserved businesses in our community, especially those owned and operated by women, BIPOC and/or disabled individuals. By providing support to underserved businesses and connecting them with University purchasers and prime contractors, the OSD leverages the University’s resources to build powerful economic partnerships in our communities.

OSD is available to assist all small businesses interested in pursuing contracts with the University.
