Supplier Diversity Program

Our supplier diversity program helps diverse and disadvantaged businesses in the communities we serve work with our company. We work with our internal business partners to expand our diverse supplier pool and build partnerships in our communities.

This program helps us encourage qualified diverse suppliers, builds relationships with business owners who reflect our communities, and makes us more competitive.

We are committed to fair and open competition. Our procurement team provides our internal business partners with a list of qualified diverse suppliers to consider.

Some businesses that may benefit from our supplier diversity program include, but are not limited to:

  • Disability-owned businesses
  • Historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) businesses
  • LGBTQ-owned businesses
  • Minority-owned businesses
  • Pennsylvania small-diverse and small businesses

We are always interested in new diverse suppliers. If you are interested in working with us, please contact us. We offer 30-minute meetings on a first-come, first-served basis.

We also encourage our suppliers to use diverse subcontractors. It is your responsibility to determine if your subcontractors are diverse suppliers. If you use diverse suppliers, you may be required to submit a quarterly diverse spend report.
