Pittsburgh Pirates
Diverse Business
Partners Program
The Pirates believe in
creating opportunities on and off the field, in our workplace
and among our suppliers. Having a diverse supplier base adds
value to the procurement process and provides the Pirates with a
broader selection of competitively priced goods and services. We
seek suppliers who demonstrate the interest, desire, commitment
and proven results to help make our business and theirs a
success.
Strengthening the
minority business community economically contributes to its
overall economic growth. By forming partnerships with
minority-owned, women-owned and disabled-owned suppliers, we
believe the Pirates are contributing to their growth and
development while assisting them in fulfilling our expectations
for quality, on-time delivery and competitively priced goods and
services.
The Pirates purchasing
policies are based on standard business practices with quality
suppliers chosen for their ability to meet the Pirates needs and
requirements, competitively.
Working to strengthen
a diverse supplier’s base has a positive effect on the
Pittsburgh Pirates, those with whom we do business, and the
communities that we serve. It’s a win-win situation for all.
Together, we are continuing to build for a successful future.
The Pittsburgh Pirates
support minority-owned, women-owned and disabled-owned suppliers
by participating in business networking exchanges, seminars,
special events, local and national trade fairs, and by making
direct and in-kind contributions to MWDBE programs.
The Pirates Diverse
Business Partners Program was established to carry the
ballclub’s commitment to achieve diversity in our supplier base
and to promote MWDBE economic development. The Pirates purchase
a variety of goods and services to support our operations and
administrative functions. While the Pirates may not have
immediate opportunities for many goods and/or services, we still
are interested in those MWBEs who are interested in soliciting
their services for future opportunities as they arise. We seek
diverse suppliers that can provide quality cost-competitive
goods and/or services in the following areas:
