SUPPLIER DIVERSITY
Our commitment to serving our customers extends to the partnerships we’ve formed with businesses, small and large. The complementary skills and distinctive capabilities our suppliers offer enable us to deliver inclusive solutions that advance our customers’ missions.
We believe our values form the foundation of a successful business. Our suppliers reinforce those values through compliance with our Code of Conduct. To protect and defend against cyber threats, our partners employ the latest in security measures to mitigate risk and ensure business continuity.
COMMITMENT TO SMALL BUSINESS
Peraton strongly believes that a key element of our supplier base — and a fundamental part of the Peraton business model — is the small business community. More than 54 percent of our subcontracted services and procured products go to small business.
As part of our supply chain management process, we focus on driving business to our approved vendors, directly contributing to regional and economic growth and enabling small businesses to enter the global market.
We demonstrate our commitment to advancing the development of small business by providing partnering opportunities and mentoring across all small business socioeconomic categories:
- Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB)
- Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB)
- HUBZone Small Businesses (HUBZone)
- Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB)
- Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB)
MENTOR PROTÉGÉ PROGRAM
Peraton supports small business growth with guidance and expertise aimed at developing our protégé’s technical and business acumen, and enhancing their competitive position and attainment of strategic objectives. Our intent is to strengthen long-term business partnerships through the common goal of exceeding customers’ expectations.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
Peraton is committed to providing a diverse, collaborative, and inclusive working environment for all employees. We have the same commitment for our small business suppliers. Our business outcomes, customer solutions, and community partnerships are better as a result of the unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences our suppliers bring to Peraton.
