Thank you for your interest in the Supplier Diversity Program. Becoming a Registered Supplier (see definitions) is the first step to participating in the Cisco Supplier Program. If you are not currently a Cisco Registered diverse supplier, register as a diverse supplier today by completing the Potential Supplier Form .

If you have additional questions, please review the FAQ page or submit feedback to the Supplier Diversity Team.

What happens after registration?
 
• The supplier is added to a Supplier Diversity Database which is made available to buyers and commodity managers. Buyers and commodity managers regularly review the database when they have an opportunity to use a product or service. If an opportunity to use a product or service arises, a Cisco representative will contact the supplier.

• Specific information about supplier’s company will be forwarded to the appropriate Cisco buyer/commodity manager.

• If contacted by the Cisco Corporate Supply Department / Global Supply Management to become a Cisco supplier, you must complete the approved supplier process. The buyer/commodity manager will help you through this process. This does not guarantee that your business will be issued a purchase order or contract. The purpose of this program is to ensure that a wide variety of firms have the opportunity to compete for supplying goods and services to Cisco. A record of your business will be retained by Cisco. The database will then be accessed if the need again arises, and Cisco will contact you directly.
