State of Tennessee Diversity Certification
We encourage eligible suppliers to certify as a diversity business with the State of Tennessee Governor’s Office of Diversity Business Enterprise (GoDBE).
The state lists certified vendors in its diversity business directory, allowing the university and other government agencies to identify diverse suppliers easily.
