POLICIES
As a major recipient of research funding from the Federal Government, Caltech is obligated to develop and maintain a program to promote the use of small and disadvantaged businesses when procuring goods and services. It is the Institute’s goal to reach out to such businesses in the community and to find responsive and responsible suppliers who can meet the purchasing needs of the Institute.
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech or CIT) is committed to supporting small business concerns, including those of socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, in its purchasing programs. Accordingly, the Institute maintains a Small Business Program. This program is designed to reach out to the small business community and to give qualified suppliers a fair and equal opportunity to compete for Institute business.
