A brief description of how the institution meets the criteria:
As an institution within the Nevada System of Higher Education, UNLV is a catalyst for the System’s efforts to broaden supplier inclusion through outreach. That outreach effort takes many forms and has culminated in UNLV’s Supplier Inclusion Program. Though the state of Nevada does not allow for set asides or quotas during the competitive bidding process, there is a great deal UNLV does to improve access and visibility to university business opportunities for our suppliers.
Currently, UNLV has a searchable database which can be accessed by campus departments when making their purchasing decision which contains a listing of MWVBE. Additionally, UNLV regularly attends events sponsored by local organizations that support MWVBE allowing for face to face interaction between the UNLV Purchasing staff and suppliers. Lastly, UNLV Purchasing sends all bidding opportunities to MWVBE suppliers and support organizations (i.e. Latin and Urban Chambers of Commerce) in order to increase participation in the procurement process.
