A brief description of how the institution meets the criteria:

As a world class research institution with wide-ranging supply needs, Boston University recognizes the value that our suppliers provide to the University community. We seek to create strategic relationships with suppliers who can provide superior service at the lowest total costs to the varying academic and administrative functions of the University.

Through the Boston University Diverse Suppliers Program (BUDS), BU encourages beneficial competition for University business among small businesses and firms with diversity of ownership, so that our supply base may reflect the face of our student body, staff, faculty, and communities. This commitment reinforces the research and educational objectives of the University, makes good business sense in a steadily diversifying marketplace, and strengthens our communities by creating opportunities for growth.
