FAQ
Q1 Why is supplier diversity important to MPC?
A1 Diverse suppliers are vital to MPC's overall mission.

We define a diverse supplier as a U.S.-based, public or private, for-profit enterprise that is certified by a third-party as a Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, Woman-owned Small Business, Veteran-owned Small Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Minority Business Enterprise and/or Woman Business Enterprise.
For more information, visit our Classification Definitions page.
Q3 What if my company is not certified as a diverse supplier?

Q4 How do I register my diverse company with MPC Supplier Diversity?
A4 Simply follow the registration procedure found in our How To Register section.
Q5 How does MPC Supplier Diversity work within MPC's procurement process?
A5
We promote diversity growth in MPC's supplier base through the following process:
  1. Work with commodity managers to identify upcoming, non-production and production procurement opportunities.
  2. Identify qualified, diverse suppliers to participate in upcoming procurement opportunities.
  3. Determine if a match exists between suppliers' capabilities and business requirements.
  4. Arrange a meeting between an identified diverse supplier and an MPC commodity manager to discuss the specific procurement opportunity, business requirements, and supplier capabilities.

A6 Please visit our Procurement Opportunities page for specifics. We recommend you bookmark that site and return regularly as this information is often refreshed.

If we determine your company's capabilities are aligned with our business requirements, your will be invited to competitively bid for a business award.
