Inclusive Procurement (Supplier Diversity)

The Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC) and Communities Lifting Communities (CLC) are committed to supporting hospitals in diversifying their procurement processes and practices, identifying suppliers that meet the diverse-owned classifications under AB 962, AB 1392 and beyond, to build a more resilient local supply chain and increase economic opportunity.
