Supplier Diversity Program
Pacers Sports & Entertainment (PS&E) recognizes the importance of diversity. We are committed to being a valuable member of the communities in which we live and operate. Providing diverse businesses an equitable opportunity to participate is an important part of that commitment.
Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we are dedicated to including minority-owned (MBE), women-owned (WBE), Veteran-owned (VBE), LGBTQIA+ (LGBTBE), and Disability-owned (DOBE) (Defined as XBE’s) businesses when possible. Vendors that want to work with PS&E must demonstrate the ability to provide high-quality goods and services that are competitively priced, reliable, and offer a high level of customer service.
The PS&E Procurement Team will actively work to include diverse suppliers in every competitive bid, RFP and RFQ opportunity. We will annually evaluate our commitment to increase diverse supplier spend and set goals accordingly.
By completing the form below, you will be adding your business to our diverse vendor registration database. PS&E Procurement will use this database (and others) as a resource when searching for diverse vendors for quoting opportunities within in PS&E.
