Supplier Diversity

We are building an inclusive culture

Supplier Diversity is a business imperative. To meet the challenges we face, we fosters an environment of inclusion which allows us to retain, develop and attract a diverse supply base. We provide maximum practicable procurement opportunities for small, minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, Historically Underutilized Zone, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)-owned and disability-owned businesses. We also seeks to provide opportunities for historically-black colleges, universities and minority institutions in the areas of technical, engineering and research services. To that end, we are committed to a diverse supply base that reflects the demographics and values of our Company, customers and the communities in which we operate.
