The City's Supplier Diversity Program advances racial equity in the spending of municipal dollars and reduces barriers for minority-owned, women-owned, Veteran-owned, and small emerging businesses to do business with the City. These opportunities strengthen social and economic community ties and create jobs and income.

The program tracks supplier diversity for key projects and manages a Minority, Women, and Veteran Business Directory where qualified businesses can request to be listed for free.

It has shaped procurement for many of the City's large capital improvement projects. Read the City's Supplier Diversity Resolution & Policy.
