Does the institution seek to support historically underutilized businesses, minority-owned businesses, and women owned-businesses?:
A brief description of how the institution meets the criteria:
Vassar College recognizes the value of diversity in our community and is, therefore, committed to actively developing supplier diversity by supporting Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises. Vassar College is committed to providing opportunities to certified Minority & Women-owned vendors for procurement of goods and services. A variety of approaches are utilized to increase participation such as outreach, participation in vendor fairs, partnering with other educational institutions, and invitation to participate in all bid and quote invitations.
Before contracting with a minority or women-owned company, the Vassar Purchasing Department ensures that a woman or minority owns at least 51% of the company.
