Tier 2 Supplier Diversity Spend
Procurement and Payment Services has partnered with »¨¼¾ÊÓƵ Facilities and supplierIO to implement the UniTier platform, which streamlines the reporting of Tier 2 local and diverse vendor subcontracted spend on projects. Contractors that perform prime contractor construction related services at »¨¼¾ÊÓƵ University are expected to use this system.
What is UniTier
UniTier is a platform designed to make it easier for companies to report their Tier 2 supplier diversity spending to their customers. Instead of requiring companies to learn and use different systems for each customer, UniTier is designed to enable companies to report their information using only one platform.

Expectations
Companies are required to report their Tier 2 subcontracted spend quarterly. Reporting is based on »¨¼¾ÊÓƵ University's Fiscal Year which is September 1st to August 31st. All third-party certifications are accepted, including System for Award Management (SAM). At the end of each quarter, companies will receive an email from supplierIO to go into the portal and report the Tier 2 spend on each project by the required due date.
