Lockheed Martin seeks to work with a wide-range of professional, diverse suppliers to give them a competitive edge in delivering high quality, innovative products and services. They understand that diversity brings agility and new perspectives to products and services.

Their mission is to have a world-class supplier diversity program that makes every effort to offer subcontractor opportunities to all types of small businesses. In addition to diverse suppliers, Lockheed Martin also strives to promote subcontract opportunities to Historically Black Colleges and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI).

As Boeing increasingly focuses on its core competencies in high-end design, engineering and systems integration, we need suppliers that are highly focused on their own core competencies, continually striving to create additional value in everything they do. Small and diverse companies have proved in competition that they bring innovation, flexibility and strength to our supply base, as well as a passion for helping Boeing deliver the strongest possible solutions to our own customers.

At The Boeing Company, we know that diversity brings strength, innovation and flexibility to our supply base. Tapping the skills and technologies available within the community of small and diverse businesses is vital to maintaining our position as the premier aerospace company in the world.
