PRISCILLA CHAN & MARK ZUCKERBERG SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL HOSPITAL & TRAUMA 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

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.
Please describe the methods in which the hospital encourages its employees involved in procurement to seek out women, minority, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers
The City and County of San Francisco Gov Ops Contract Reform Team maintains 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, as part of the City and County of San Francisco Department of Public Health, does not have a formal Hospital Supplier Diversity Commission, and therefore we have not implemented specific recommendations from such a body. However, we remain fully bound by the City’s contracting and workforce equity laws that support inclusive and equitable procurement practices. The City’s nondiscrimination and equal benefits requirements, previously found in Administrative Code Chapter 12B, were redesignated in 2024 and are now codified in the Labor and Employment Code, Article 131. We continue to comply with these provisions, as well as with Administrative Code Chapter 14B, which promotes participation by Local Business Enterprises (LBEs), and Chapter 83, which outlines First Source Hiring requirements to support equitable employment opportunities within City funded work. Although we do not have a Commission issued set of recommendations to reference, we remain committed to meeting all applicable City requirements and maintaining transparency about our procurement practices.
Please describe the planned implementation of relevant recommendations made by the Hospital Supplier Diversity Commission
Our hospital, as part of the City and County of San Francisco Department of Public Health, does not have its own Hospital Supplier Diversity Commission. As such, there are no formal Commission recommendations available for implementation at this time. If future guidance, direction, or recommendations become available, whether from Citywide initiatives, departmental efforts, or evolving policy requirements, we will review them and determine appropriate next steps. Any updates, once available, will be shared with the public to ensure clarity and transparency in our procurement practices.
6. Procurement Process and Certification
Please describe your hospital's procurement process
As part of the City and County of San Francisco, the hospital follows all City and County procurement policies as outlined in the San Francisco Administrative Code, Chapter 21.

10. Other Relevant Information
The City of San Francisco does not currently have reporting functionality that categorizes spending for business enterprises based on whether the majority of their workforce is employed in California; therefore, this report reflects total spend. Additionally, due to system limitations, we are not able to differentiate spending between Tier I and Tier II suppliers. As a result, all spending data has been recorded under Tier I. The Office of the Controller, Systems Division, is actively exploring enhancements to data collection processes that will support more complete and accurate reporting in future periods. All data presented in this report was compiled by the Office of the Controller, Systems Division.
