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) offers assistance designed to support small businesses, and businesses owned and operated by BIPOC, women, or disabled individuals, that are interested in pursuing contracts with the University.  OSD's services are available to all businesses.

By providing support to underserved businesses and connecting them with University purchasers and prime contractors, OSD aims to leverage the University’s resources to build powerful economic partnerships in our communities.

Please note that the University has recently made changes to its Supplier Diversity Program. Review these Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
