Supplier Diversity

A Diverse Supplier is a business that is at least 51% owned and operated by a Minority, Woman, Veteran, Service-Disabled Veteran or Person with a Disability.

If your firm is interested in offering products or services to Verizon California Inc., in addition to other certifications, Verizon requires you obtain certification from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Clearinghouse.
