System-wide Supplier Diversity Program

The System-wide Supplier Diversity Program works to assure that Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned Business (SDVOB) firms can compete fairly for SUNY procurements. SUNY policies are in accordance with New York State Executive Law Article 15-A and Article 3 of the New York State Veterans' Services Law, respectively.

Pursuant to 5 NYCRR §142.8 and 9 NYCRR §252.2, all firms contracting with SUNY are required to make and demonstrate good faith efforts to include meaningful participation in SUNY contracts by MWBE and SDVOB firms.

Each SUNY campus has a Supplier Diversity Campus Coordinator. You are encouraged to contact them directly to:

  • share information about your business;
  • be placed on their vendors list (if applicable); and
  • discuss how your company might meet the campus’s specific needs.
