Supplier opportunities

Michigan State University supports providing business opportunities to a diverse base of suppliers. Pursuant to the Michigan constitution, the university may not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. Additionally, preferential treatment may not be granted to suppliers based on their status as one of these protected classes except to establish or maintain eligibility for any federal program. Refer to the Manual of Business Procedures Section 270 for additional information.

Sustainability

University Procurement and Logistics supports MSU's sustainability goals as identified by Campus Sustainability by providing responsible procurement and supply chain guidelines and practices.

Environmental considerations are a factor when Procurement negotiates strategic contracts. Since these contracts provide the best value to the university, the MSU community is encouraged to visit Spartan Marketplace prior to using other buying methods.

All things being equal—price, quality, shipping, terms and conditions—a sustainable product should be selected for purchase.
