MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER: SUPPLIER DIVERSITY PROGRAM
To have a world class program promoting inclusion of small, small disadvantaged, woman, and veteran-owned businesses; as well as historically black and tribal colleges, universities, and minority institutions in business opportunities

OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the Major League Soccer Supplier Diversity program are:
  • To ensure that small businesses of all type are given a fair opportunity and consideration to participate in the corporations subcontracting process.
  • Provide all Major League Soccer personnel who are involved in the acquisition of materials and services the adequate tools and training that will enhance their ability to meet the companies supplier diversity goals and objectives.


POLICY
It is Major League Soccer policy that its business units will conduct socioeconomic subcontracting programs in recognition of compelling moral, social and economic necessity. It is also Major League Soccer policy to facilitate the achievement of its negotiated subcontracting goals by developing the capabilities of, and pursuing opportunities to award subcontracts and other procurements to, small, small disadvantaged, women, veteran, and historically black and tribally owned colleges and universities, and other minority institutions

In furtherance of these objectives, Major League Soccer will institute a proactive supplier diversity program designed to develop the growth and competitive capabilities that will enable such businesses to become responsible suppliers. This program will be consistent with Major League Soccer's policy of considering all subcontractors and suppliers fairly in competition for requirements falling within their demonstrated capabilities.

This policy applies to government contracts and, to the extent practicable, commercial programs.
