Emory University is committed to the development of business relationships with small business and diverse suppliers that can add value to our institution and help us achieve our research, education and business objectives. In keeping with this commitment, the Procurement and Contract Administration Department requests those that have purchasing delegations within their departments to support Emory's diverse vendors in their purchasing needs. Emory's Office of Supplier Diversity focuses on matching the right Minority and Woman-owned business (MWBE) with the right opportunity. Established in 2007, the Office of Supplier Diversity works closely with Procurement Services to cultivate opportunities for qualified minority-and women-owned businesses.
