Women, Minority, Veteran-Owned & Small Business Development

As our population becomes increasingly diverse, the inclusion by major corporations of minority- and women-owned businesses as suppliers and “second-tier” contractors is essential to maintain competitiveness on both a national and international scale. 
PCC has designed and/or assisted in the implementation of supplier diversity programs for a number of major corporations. 
Our approach includes the following components:

• Assess the client’s corporate culture and procurement procedures.
  
• Develop internal policies and procedures to enhance the utilization of minority-owned firms in the client’s procurement activities.
  
• Analyze the types of contractual opportunities available with the client.
  
• Design an informational and outreach campaign aimed at diverse communities (including representative organizations) appropriate to the available contractual opportunities.
  
• Assist in implementation of the information and outreach campaign.
  
• Function as liaison between client and minority vendors as needed.
  
• Provide appropriate reports to the client on a periodic basis.
