The Ohio State University

As an advocate of minority business development for more than two decades, equal opportunity is a basic philosophy at The Ohio State University. It is the University's goal to procure approximately 15% of its goods and services from state-certified minority vendors.

Visit the Purchasing site for vendor registration and bid information.

The Purchasing Department guides and supports the University's ongoing commitment to encourage business opportunities and diversity among its vendors. By promoting minority business development as a shared responsibility throughout the University, our efforts have opened doors in university departments and resulted in a heightened awareness of minority suppliers.
