Tampa Bay Rays
Diverse Business
Partners Program
The Tampa Bay Rays Diverse Business
Partners (DBP) Program promotes opportunities for
highly qualified minority- and women-owned business enterprises
(MWBEs) to create mutually beneficial supplier relationships
with our organization. We work closely with Major League
Baseball’s Diverse Business Partners Program, which is
administered through the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball,
and also the Florida Minority Supplier Business Council (FMSBC),
which promotes opportunities for minority-owned companies in our
area.
The number one priority of the Tampa
Bay Rays organization is fan satisfaction, and the primary goal
of our procurement process is to attract suppliers that enable
us to create and maintain a first-class ballpark experience for
our fans.
Because we are an organization that
values and appreciates diversity, we are making supplier
diversity an integral part of how we conduct business. Our DBP
Program aims to create a strong network of MWBEs who can help us
support our growth, develop new fans, and contribute to the
overall economic growth of the Tampa Bay Region. We look
forward to a bright future as we grow with our Diverse Business
Partners. |

environmentally-friendly business
objectives as a market leader in
that area."
