FAQs

I am certified as a diverse business.  What do I do next?

Start by making sure your business is certified online with one of the certifying agencies.  Your certification allows us to become familiar with your company's background and capabilities.  Depending on Nike’s current business needs, your business may then become a potential supplier used in the procurement process.

How can I participate in the bidding process once I am certified?

Our goal is to offer suppliers real procurement opportunities as they arise, and all purchasing is done in a competitive marketplace.  Our Supplier Diversity staff will work with procurement decision-makers to investigate the criteria required of a supplier for a specific engagement.  They will attempt to identify those suppliers that meet most or all of the criteria and when those suppliers have been identified, they will be notified.
