CVM’s Tier 2 Diversity Spend Reporting system allows suppliers to report their diverse spend through a web-portal. The Tier 2 Diversity Spend Reporting includes the following for a specific number of prime suppliers designated by our customers.

• Web-Based Reporting Portal – Reporting on to the Tier 2 system will be on an invitation basis. Invited Prime Suppliers will be provided with a user id and password. A notification email from the system will be sent when each reporting period is open. Primes will report their direct and indirect spend with diverse suppliers.

• Standard Reports – The Tier 2 Reporting System has advanced reporting capabilities to allow users to create and/or configure specific reports.

• Configuration that Reflects Specific Diversity Definitions – CVM will configure the reporting system to incorporate a customer’s Tier 2 program requirements. The definition of “verified spend” will be modified in the system to include only certain certification statuses and certifying agencies (as defined by the customer). Tier 2 Indirect spend data can be collected by Diversity Category per customers’ requirements. Additionally, if the customer chooses to collect ethnicity data during the reporting process, the customer can determine which ethnicities are included in the system.

• Ability to Verify that Tier 2 Suppliers are Diverse – CVM will use its database of diverse suppliers to validate the diversity status of the direct spend Tier 2 suppliers that Prime suppliers report. The system generated reports provide the total amount of diverse spend reported by the customers primes, and also includes a separate total for spend that has been verified as diverse via the CVM database. This is valid when spend is reported by naming the diverse suppliers (direct spend).

• Communications with Participating Suppliers – The system includes automated communication capabilities which manage the workflow and communication with participating suppliers. The system utilizes customizable email distribution templates for program announcements, to notify participating suppliers that the system is open for reporting, to acknowledge Tier 2 reports have been received, to remind participating suppliers to submit their report before the reporting period closes, etc. CVM’s Tier 2 Diversity Spend Reporting system will automatically exclude delivery of additional emails to suppliers that have already submitted reports for the current reporting period.
