UPMC is committed to partnering with a variety of organizations. Since 1989, our Supplier Opportunity and Inclusion Program has linked UPMC with a wide network of entrepreneurs providing quality goods and services.
Consistent with applicable law and UPMC's commitment to equal opportunity and inclusive sourcing, participation in UPMC’s supplier programs does not require ownership by individuals of any particular race, ethnicity, or demographic background. Eligibility for contracting is based solely on business qualifications and performance criteria. Participation in supplier programs is open to all qualified businesses regardless of ownership status, size, or background.
UPMC may request demographic information from suppliers to support transparency and track progress on inclusion goals; however, such data will be collected voluntarily and will not influence contract award decisions.
- Supplier Opportunity and Inclusion is an integral part of the UPMC Supply Chain Management (SCM) strategy.
- UPMC invites Certified Businesses to participate in the Supplier Opportunity and Inclusion Program.
- Engaging, developing, utilizing, and connecting Certified Businesses to opportunities fosters innovation and contributes to the economic development, growth, job creation, sustainability, and expansion of the communities we serve.
- UPMC seeks to enter into first- and second-tier business relationships with suppliers who provide quality, cost-competitive products and services to UPMC.
- Participating Certified Businesses are invited to register via our Supplier Opportunity and Inclusion Registration website.
