Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Program 2024 Year in Review
We are starting off a new year and would like to take this opportunity to recap the great work accomplished by our Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Program.
- Percentage of diverse spending in 2024: 14.93%
- Accepted Federal Contract Small Business Subcontracting Plans: 2
- Awards and recognition: NAEP Eddie H. Jackson Supplier Diversity Award
We still strive to achieve a more diverse spend with suppliers, aiming for 25% of total addressable spend on campus goods and services by FY26. Please take every opportunity when able to purchase from our small businesses in our local and diverse communities.
