Tier II Program and Reporting<\/h2>\n

The Tier II program is a component of our strategy that ensures small and local businesses are afforded the opportunity to do business with us as a subcontractor to our prime suppliers. Our Tier II program was created to ensure that we maximize contract opportunities for small and local suppliers that provide products and\/or services to our prime suppliers.<\/p>\n

All suppliers, except those classified as small businesses, who receive contracts in excess of $550,000 ($1M for Construction) may be contacted by Kaiser Permanente to report their Tier II expenditures into Kaiser Permanente\u2019s online reporting portal on a quarterly basis.[\/vc_column_text]Enter your Tier II spend<\/span><\/a> [vc_empty_space height=”60px”]Contact us<\/span><\/a> [\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
