Supplier Diversity Program Webcast~2.docx

This document is an informational resource provided by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's Supplier Diversity Office regarding the Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) webcast and requirements. The material describes an overview webcast available to bidders and prime contractors that explains the SDP Plan Form submission requirements. The webcast specifically addresses the Commonwealth's Supplier Diversity Program, which applies to large Executive Branch Goods and Services procurements exceeding $250,000. The resource directs potential bidders to access the webcast titled "Supplier Diversity Program Plan Form Review" via YouTube for comprehensive guidance on completing the required Plan Form.

This document serves as a preliminary guidance resource for the MSP Academy Food Services procurement (SP27-MSP-Academy Food Services-T81) in New Braintree, Massachusetts. As the contract opportunity likely exceeds the $250,000 threshold for SDP applicability, interested vendors must review the webcast and understand the Supplier Diversity Program Plan Form requirements as part of their proposal submission process. The Commonwealth requires this supplier diversity documentation for large procurements to promote participation and engagement with diverse suppliers in state contracting opportunities.
