5. Other Relevant Information
At this time it is not a requirement that vendors provide the County of Monterey/Natividad with their diversity status, it is optional and the opportunity to report status is available only at the time of initial vendor registration. Therefore, the diversity spend reported here is primarily derived from our Group Purchasing Organization, Vizient, and only reflects the spend for diverse vendor categories as processed and reported through that GPO.
