A Message from Our Director
Ron Trafzer, Director Pinnacle West/APS Supply Chain Management
APS has a strong commitment of strengthening communities by reaching out to diverse suppliers. We recognize the win-win advantage of making competitive bid opportunities available to Minority, Women, Veteran, Service-Disabled Veterans and HUBZone Enterprises. We benefit from broad access to the best sources for high quality, competitive goods and services. At the same time, our partnerships with these entrepreneurial companies expand the social and economic vitality of every community where we do business. We understand that supplier diversity is an important key to sustaining our long-term success as well as the success of our suppliers.
APS is committed to promoting and facilitating the solicitation and introduction of diverse businesses to APS’ procurement processes, with the objective of providing diverse suppliers equal access to potential procurement opportunities. Supplier Diversity seeks to find and develop the best suppliers, we actively seek to promote opportunities for qualified and certified Diverse Enterprises in all phases of our operations.
Building a strong base of Minority, Women, Veteran, Service-Disabled Veterans and HUBZone suppliers is critical to our mission. These relationships contribute to customer loyalty, stimulate economic development and tap into the innovation and entrepreneurship we need to win to provide our customers with the best products and services at competitive prices. Our success in this area will be measured by effort and results.
We are proud of our accomplishments, but even more excited about the potential for expansion and growth and encourage you to explore the possibilities that ultimately benefit our customers and the communities we serve.
