Overview

The Office of Supplier Diversity & Inclusion (OSDI) strategically prioritizes advocacy for diverse, small, and local businesses. Our goals include expanding access to contracting opportunities, building a sustainable supplier database, and ensuring compliance and performance across M-NCPPC contracts.

Mission: Empowering Suppliers and Enriching Communities

• We are committed to fostering strong partnerships between prime contractors and subcontractors.
• We hold Match-Making sessions that focus on connecting procurement buyers to our businesses by commodities and business designations.
• With our growing partnerships throughout Prince George’s and Montgomery County, we can provide business resources, financial education, and referrals to certifying entities.
  

SDI Initiatives

In support of our ongoing mission, we are developing a Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) Program and a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Program to build a more inclusive and competitive procurement environment and increase participation by local and diverse businesses in public contracting opportunities.

Your feedback is an essential part of this process, and we remain committed to collaborative engagement with the business community. The Commission encourages all business owners, contractors, suppliers, community organizations, and other stakeholders to take part in upcoming surveys, workshops, interviews, and public listening sessions as these programs take shape.
