Commitment to Supplier Diversity
Small businesses are the engines of America’s marketplace and the primary catalysts of our nation’s economic growth. We want small businesses, with their unique capabilities and technical know-how, to help us better serve our customers – especially those small businesses operated by the disadvantaged; those that are women-owned, veteran-owned; or HUBZone companies and Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MIs).
Through our staff diversity initiatives, we recognize that great ideas often come from people with difference talents and experiences working together in a supportive, respectful environment. By working together, our highly-talented staff and our small business partners bring extraordinary strength and depth of expertise to the challenge of creating solutions to our country’s most complex problems.
We are committed to Supplier Diversity and promoting economic vitality by contracting with suppliers who reflect the communities in which we operate.
