Small Business Contracting & Minority Business Development Initiatives

business people

At CSC, we work hard to bring small and disadvantaged businesses into our family of vendors and subcontractors. Through an active Supplier Diversity Program, we reach out to small businesses, and to large businesses owned by women, minorities, veterans and others of diverse backgrounds, to increase supplier diversity and educate suppliers on CSC’s procurement process. Diversity managers and small business coordinators also advocate for diverse businesses within the company and work with other community, government and business organizations that provide opportunities for small business contracting.
