The power of diversity and inclusion

Fannie Mae is committed to diversity in our supplier base, as evidenced by the millions of dollars we directly award to diverse suppliers annually.

Diverse suppliers must be documented by self-certification (PDF) or third-party agency certification.

Diverse suppliers must provide proof of diversity status in their supplier profile within our supplier management system, ProcureOne. Upload your completed certification within your ProcureOne supplier profile in the credentials tab, under “add diversity credentials." Additional instructions can be found in this guide.

**HUBZone business:** The HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program stimulates economic development and creates jobs in urban and rural communities by providing federal contracting preferences to small businesses. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) certification in part by employing staff who live in a HUBZone. The company must also maintain a principal office in one of these specially designated areas. The program resulted from provisions contained in the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997.
