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:
As an advocate of minority business development for more than two decades, equal opportunity is a basic philosophy at The Ohio State University. It is the University's goal to procure approximately 15% of its goods and services from state of Ohio Certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), and 5% from certified Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) businesses.
The Purchasing Department guides and supports the University's ongoing commitment to encourage business opportunities and diversity among its vendors. By promoting minority business development as a shared responsibility throughout the University, our efforts have opened doors in university departments and resulted in a heightened awareness of minority suppliers.
