Business Ownership Questionnaire

Tegrete is required to collect Diverse Supplier Business Ownership status from our service providers. This information is used by Tegrete and our clients to track the use of and spending with diverse suppliers. We do not share your specific information, rather information is shared at an aggregate level.

It is Tegrete’s practice to subcontract with minority, woman, disabled, veteran, and LGBTQ owned businesses for products and services to the maximum practical extent in the performance of our contracts. Therefore, your completion of this questionnaire is greatly appreciated.

While certification is not required to do business with Tegrete, we strongly recommend certification so that you can become part of our Supplier Diversity program. Tegrete will require diverse supplier certification from a recognized third party certification organization. Tegrete does not recognize self-certification.

Additional Information

Please answer the questions below

Please note, if you are awarded a contract with Tegrete, your first payment will not be made until all required documentation, including insurance and background screening (if applicable), has been received.
