For Procurement, Supplier Diversity & Federal Prime Contracting Leaders

Diversity that performs.

A WBENC- and WOSB-certified, Minority-Owned, SOC 2-aligned workforce partner built specifically for the operational standards of Tier 1 supplier-diversity programs and federal subcontracting. We deliver the credentials your CFO measures and the operational performance your procurement scorecard demands, at the same time.

What we bring to your program.

The operational pillars that procurement leaders evaluating Tier 1 diverse suppliers should care about, and the specific commitments we make on each.

Diversity credentials, audit-ready.

WBENC certification (#WBE2600761), WOSB certification (#WOSB260585), CAGE Code, active SAM.gov registration, and SOC 2 Type I alignment. All current, all documentable, all accepted as standard by Fortune 500 supplier diversity programs and federal prime contractors.

VMS-fluent operations.

Operational fluency across Beeline, Fieldglass, IQNavigator, VNDLY, Magnit, and Coupa CCW. We know your platform as well as your program team does, and we don't ask them to do work we should be doing.

Scorecard performance.

30-day average time-to-fill (vs. 42-day industry average). 95% client satisfaction (vs. 82% industry average). Less than 10% candidate drop-off (vs. 25–30% industry). The metrics that show up on your CFO's report.

Governance discipline.

Quarterly business reviews where we come prepared with our own data and own our misses. Program-level improvements proposed regularly, not just when we want something. Escalations through the right channel, every time.

"I've sat on the buyer's side of these relationships. What clients remember isn't the pitch — it's whether you picked up the phone when something broke. We built Thunderhawk so the answer is always yes."
Patricia M. VP, Strategic Partnerships
