Minority Reporting Information
In response to the continuing interest and support of The Ohio State University's Minority Business Program, the Purchasing Department offers 2 reporting tools through eReports Portal to help departments/colleges review specific State-Certified Minority Vendor purchasing detail:

• Minority Vendor Reports
• Historical Minority Vendor Reports (for FY2004 and earlier)

See the eReports Assist Page (Financials eReporting) for assistance in running your area's Minority Vendor Reports. This tool has been developed to aid departments and/or colleges with the independent calculation of their own area's minority purchase percentage for a designated period of time. Reports are calculated cumulatively and are inclusive of data from the start of the current fiscal year (1st quarter) through the current fiscal year quarter.

Credits for Stores and Purchasing/Travel Card Purchases
Departments using Purchasing/Travel Cards or buying through Stores may apply the following minority credit percentage to those purchases:

Purchase Order Exclusions
These Minority Business Reports exclude the following:

• Purchases made using procurement cards, convenience orders or payment requests (FAS-12's)
• Purchases waived from competitive bids, Board of Trustee resolutions (e.g. sole source, emergency or economic conditions, resale, etc.) and State and University excluded categories (e.g. utilities, maintenance agreements, royalties, artwork, accommodations, etc.).
• Internal University purchases (e.g. Library, Facilities Operations and Development, OSURF - Sponsored Programs, Stores, UNITS, etc.)
• Stores Purchases - Departments do not issue purchase orders to Stores, and therefore, are not included in the minority-reporting base.
