Use Case and Instructions
End users utilizing this tab will be able to identify and track new opportunities to purchase commodities through diverse vendors.
- In the upper right side, search for and select the department you wish to look at.
- If you would like to inspect the spend of a single commodity, search for and select a code from the UofI Commodity filter. If a value is selected in the Department filter, the dashboard will populate commodities only for that department.
- If a Diverse Vendor is available for that commodity code, a Y will appear in both the filter and the table below.
- To view diverse vendors registered to provide products or services for a particular commodity (corresponding to a Y in the upper table), select the same commodity code in the Commodity Search located in the bottom-half of the page.
- Once selected, a list of BEP vendors will populate under Certified BEP Vendors by Commodity. Assuming the vendor remains certified, future purchases with these vendors under any commodity code will be counted towards BEP Achievement in future reports.
