Role of the Business Diversity Program
Mission:
Proactively engage with and support the
University of Washington’s commitment to
creating a diverse business environment.
Vision:
The University of Washington will utilize
businesses whose ownership is representative of
our diverse and local community.
Economic Benefits
• The 2010 Survey of Business Owners demonstrates the increasing diversity of U.S.
business ownership. The growth in the number of minority-owned firms — both
employers and non-employers — has far outpaced that of businesses in US overall.
Census Data
*Tom Mesenbourg, Deputy Director of the U.S. Census Bureau
• The explosive growth shows that utilization of such MWBE firms can significantly
impact the economy.
• Had minority-owned businesses reached economic parity, there would be higher
levels of key economic activity estimated at $2.5 trillion in gross receipts.
Implications
*Minority Business Development Agency, 2010
Within the UW
Community
• We can contribute to healthy economic activity within the State of Washington.
• Economic activity within the State will grow.
• Reallocation of funds back in to the University community.
Multiplier Effect
• Estimates the ripple effect in the state economy where spending occurs
• UW Spending with local suppliers provides these suppliers with addt’l
dollars that they re-spend in the local economy  “multiplier effect.”
• For every $1 of direct UW spending, $1.275 of indirect spending is
generated for the state economy via employment, tax revenue, and
business spending

Role of the Business Diversity Program
Based on your department’s
needs, we can match you
with appropriate business
owners using our
comprehensive MWBE
directory—BDP’s Diverse
Supplier Search.

Non PO Invoice Payments
In January,
Procurement Services
developed a lean team
to streamline
Purchases. The team
learned that there are
times when a PO is
created in PAS simply
to make a payment to
a supplier when a
physical PO copy is
not required. We set
out to provide a
flexible, less
expensive alternative
to meet campus’s
payment needs. What
resulted is the Non-PO
Invoice module in
Ariba.
17
Non PO Invoice Payments
What is a Non-PO Invoice?
ANSWER:
An online tool used to make a payment to a supplier
when a PO is not required.
Ex: Items purchased under the UW’S Direct Buy
limit (currently $3500) when the supplier is not in
eProcurement, registrations, memberships, etc.
18
Non PO Invoice Payments
How will this help departments?
•Cuts down the groups involved in making a payment
(less touches to the process)
•Invoices are retained in the department which
reduces the amount “lost”
•Greater flexibility with budgets, account codes and
PCA codes on a line item basis (previously unavailable
in PAS)
•Complete transparency of
the invoice process from
beginning to end
•Links between MyFD and
invoices in Ariba
19
Non PO Invoice Payments
When will Non-PO Invoice be available?
Soon! The project is projected to go live in November
2011
Beta testing is September 28th from 9 am to noon.
