Supplier Diversity Targets – All organizations are expected to set targets for spending at least 25% of it’s total spend across their diversity suppliers. This is measured by the percentage of contracts that are being awarded to diverse suppliers as well as specific dollar values spent with those firms per year.

The Department also recommends measuring performance in other categories such as supplier diversity targets, outreach efforts, subcontracting plans and compliance reviews which can all help work towards these objectives.”
