Supplier Diversity Program

Building a Diverse Supplier Network

The Office of Procurement is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive supplier network. We believe that Minority and Women-Owned Enterprises (XBEs) are essential partners in achieving our goals.

Beyond Compliance

Our commitment to XBE inclusion goes beyond simply meeting regulatory requirements. We recognize the value XBEs bring to our operations:

• Enhanced Innovation: Diverse perspectives lead to a wider range of solutions and ideas.
• Increased Competition: A broader pool of vendors fosters better pricing and service quality.
• Community Growth: Supporting local XBEs strengthens the economic fabric of our community.

Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continuously improving our XBE outreach and support programs. We encourage XBE vendors to register with the Indiana Department of Administration’s Division of Supplier Diversity office and to contact us with any questions.
