 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.
