Supplier Diversity Requirements

When selecting vendor(s) without soliciting quotes or a statement of work, Executive Departments should follow below guidance:

When selecting contractors and placing orders, Executive departments shall utilize diverse and small businesses to the extent possible based on contract terms, SDO and departmental policies, laws, and regulations. Additionally, departments shall make a preference for contractors with higher SDP commitments and/or performance whenever such information is available (or is requested from contractors by the department) and the preference is feasible.

OSD provides up-to-date information on the availability of diverse and small businesses on statewide contracts through the Statewide Contract Index available on the COMMBUYS home page. See the “Programs (SDO and SBPP)” tab for current certification and small business status of contractors on this contract.

SDP Commitment: Businesses awarded large Commonwealth contracts for goods and services (also called prime contractors or prime vendors) are required to make measurable financial commitments to do business with one or more diverse businesses (often called SDP Partners). This business-to-business relationship requirement applies to all Large Procurements for goods and services, which were historically defined as those expected to exceed $150,000 in total spending. Effective July 1, 2021, Large Procurements will be defined as those expected to exceed $250,000 in annual spending.

Executive departments should take into consideration contracted vendors SDP commitments when evaluating responses.

Specifically, the following fields of the new SDP Plan Form correspond to the goals stated above:

Type of information collected from bidders Possible use of the information by the SST SDP focus statement Assess the bidder’s level of integration of supplier diversity into company operations. SDP policy link or attachment (if any)
