Supplier Diversity

Small businesses are the engines of America’s marketplace and the primary catalysts of our nation’s innovation and economic growth. Battelle encourages small businesses, with their distinctive capabilities and technical know-how, to help us better serve our clients, communities and country. By working together, our highly-talented staff and our small business partners bring extraordinary strength and depth of expertise to the challenge of creating solutions to our nation’s most complex problems.

Battelle’s Office of Supplier Diversity is committed to partnering with small businesses of all kinds:

• Small and disadvantaged businesses
• Women-owned
• Minority-owned/Native American-owned
• Veteran- and Service Disabled Veteran-owned
• HUBZone companies

Encouraging small business owners to explore opportunities in unlocking their technological potential is a key element in Battelle's success as a global research leader.

We build long-term strategic business relationships between Battelle’s project staff and the small business supplier community by:

• Ensuring that small businesses are included in the proposal development process
• Fostering small business partnering programs and mentor/protégé
• Coordinating capability briefings
• Conducting proactive outreach to small businesses
