NAPA STATE HOSPITAL

1. Policy Statement

Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

In order to ensure DSH - Napa meets the mandates of Executive Order S-02-06 and Military and Veterans Code section 999.2 et seq. to support California's small business (SB) and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) business owners, it is DSH – Napa’s policy to first seek SB/DVBE participation in all solicitations unless there is a strong, documented business reason for not doing so. It is the goal of DSH - Napa to promote the use of SBs and DVBEs in its procurements and contractual agreements with special consideration given to vendors who are certified women, minority, or LGBT owned.

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

DSH - Napa buyers search for potential new suppliers in Cal eProcure, an online marketplace portal. As of this FY 23/24, suppliers are now able to voluntarily provide data on ethnicity, race, gender identify, and sexual orientation which is displayed in their Cal eProcure profiles. This new functionality enables our buyers to identify suppliers in these groups. Suppliers also contact DSH - Napa to market their goods and services. In this case, procurement staff collect their capabilities statements and include these suppliers in future solicitations. When suppliers claim to be a SB or DVBE but are not certified, they are encouraged to contact the Office of Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Services (OSDS) at the Department of General Services (DGS) to apply for certification. DSH - Napa advises suppliers of the benefits that come with certification such as preferences and incentives in the state procurement and contracting process. It is important to note than many SBs and DVBEs are also minority, women, and LGBT business owners.
