Supplier Diversity Program
Our Mission
As an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, Montclair State University is committed to using qualified suppliers from all parts of the business community. It advocates the development and use of Small Business Enterprises for the purchase of goods and services, and as well as contractors and subcontractors.
The University has established a Supplier Diversity Program to demonstrate our commitment to encouraging the growth and development of these under utilized segments of the business community and promoting the spirit of active competition.
By implementing the Program, the University will optimize expenditures with Small businesses and meet the goals and targets established by the State of New Jersey.
