LAGUNA HONDA HOSPITAL AND REHABILITATION CENTER

1. Policy Statement

Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

The hospital does not have a standalone supplier diversity policy statement. However, as part of the City and County of San Francisco (Department of Public Health) we adhere to all applicable City policies, ordinances and requirements related to San Francisco’s supplier diversity program, which is overseen by the Contract Monitoring Division (CMD). The program is designed to ensure a fair and equitable contracting process that supports local businesses, particularly those owned by women, minorities, and people with disabilities.

2. Goals and Timetables

Please describe your hospital's short-term goals and timetables, but not quotas, for increasing procurement from women, minority, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises

The San Francisco Department of Public Health is collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to refine its procurement strategies in order to better identify and engage both Local Business Enterprises (LBEs) and non-LBES that are owned by women, minorities, disabled veterans and LGBT firms.

3. Outreach and Communication

Please describe the methods in which the hospital encourages and seeks out both prime and subcontract suppliers from women, minority, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers

The hospital utilizes its City Administrative Code authority to use a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), and our prime vendor for the bulk of our day-to-day procurement needs. The hospital also provides business to local minority vendors where practical and not in contravention to clinical needs.

The City and County of San Francisco Gov Ops Contract Reform Team recently launched the Supplier Finder Tool to support City staff in identifying registered suppliers and bidders more efficiently. This tool includes advanced filtering options that allow users to search by supplier designations such as LBE, Women Business Enterprises (WBE), Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), and other supplier designations. Each registered vendor has a detailed profile that includes additional information on designations such as Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) and LGBT Business Enterprises.

5. Diversity Commission Recommendations and Planned Implementations

Please describe the past implementation of relevant recommendations made by the Hospital Supplier Diversity Commission

Currently, our hospital does not have a formal Hospital Supplier Diversity Commission, and as such, we have not implemented specific recommendations from such a group. However, we are bound by the City’s laws, such as Chapters 12B, 14B, and 83, which support diversity in business practices. Looking ahead, we are exploring the creation of internal structures such as a supplier diversity working group or task force, to assess and implement strategies that promote the inclusion of diverse vendors within our local procurement processes.

10. Other Relevant Information

The City of SF doesn’t have system reporting functionality established to categorize spend per Tier I and Tier II, therefore spend data has been entered into Tier I. The demographic data presented is currently sourced from suppliers' 14B applications, an optional onboarding step that is completed by only a small percentage of the City's overall supplier pool. The SF Procurement team is exploring solutions to expand future collection of this data to all suppliers that do business with the City which will make more complete data available in future reporting periods.
