Supplier Diversity Procurement Program

Mission Statement
The University of Kentucky is committed to the goal of non-discrimination and to giving fair consideration to all suppliers in its procurement programs. UK's "Supplier Diversity Procurement Program" was established to ensure small, women-owned and minority-owned businesses have full opportunity to compete for the university's business. The program serves as liaison between the diverse supplier community and all UK employees with procurement authority.
