CSC was officially recognized for its commitment to supplier diversity at the annual OSDBU awards ceremony on July 16, 2008.“It is our pleasure to congratulate CSC as the 2007 winner for the ‘Large Business of the Year’ award,” said Teresa L.G.

CSC was commended for meeting its subcontracting goals for small business, small disadvantaged business and women-owned business. The OSDBU also thanked CSC for its support of the Department of the Treasury’s Prime Vendor Outreach Sessions in which CSC employees shared their expertise and counseled small businesses about subcontracting opportunities.
