Supplier Diversity

At Jefferson we are committed to fostering a diverse supplier base and welcoming all potential suppliers who can fulfill our requirements on a competitive basis to see if they qualify to be part of Supplier Diversity, our supplier diversity program.

Supplier Diversity is where we offer potential diverse suppliers the opportunity to present their business virtually and we answer initial questions from prospective diverse businesses. Jefferson’s Supplier Diversity program is designed to connect more minority, women, veteran, persons with disabilities, and LGBT-owned small businesses to opportunities at Jefferson. It is important to understand that participation in the presentation process does not guarantee a contract award.
