Our goal is to optimize vendor relationships, leverage the entire organization's spend, 分享最佳实践, and develop and implement contracts for the entire University.


Vendor Diversity Program

University of the Pacific (Pacific) is committed to a comprehensive vendor diversity program for socio-economic business development and works to ensure that opportunities exist for such firms.  我们相信多样性, 股本, and inclusion (DEI) increases competition and adds value to Pacific’s procurement strategies.  Pacific seeks to enhance vendor diversity with respect to procurement activities for small-business owned, disadvantaged-owned, 女性拥有的, 万家, and veteran-owned businesses and encourage contractors, 分包商 and vendors abide by the spirit and intent of our DEI commitment.

Pacific encourages competition among vendors in providing goods 和服务 to the university, thereby assuring that the mix of quality, 服务 and price best matches the stated needs of Pacific’s programs and activities.  作为这个过程的一部分, the university encourages the inclusion of small-business-owned, disadvantaged-owned, 女性拥有的, 万家, and veteran-owned businesses wherever possible. In conjunction with the University’s Vendor Diversity Program, Procurement promotes the use of diversified vendors to the greatest extent possible and to foster their growth as viable vendor candidates.
