Supplier Diversity

Diversity is a strong component of Qualcomm’s unique culture. In accordance with this and the Small Business Administration’s subcontract reporting requirements, Qualcomm established the Supplier Diversity program. The program ensures that we maintain our commitment and obligations to small and diverse business suppliers, including disadvantaged businesses and those owned by people of minority races, women, veterans and disabled persons.


The Supplier Diversity program procedures are in full compliance with public laws, and both the Federal and Defense Acquisition Regulations as imposed upon us by the United States government.

Since implementing the Supplier Diversity program at the end of 2006, Qualcomm has regularly increased the amount of direct and indirect spending with small and minority-owned businesses.
