Subcontracting

PRO­CURE­MENT POLICY
CDM Smith Inc.’s policy is to conduct its pro­cure­ments for goods and services in an ethical, fair and rea­son­able manner and to comply with ap­plic­a­ble con­trac­tual and federal, mu­nic­i­pal, and in­dus­trial re­quire­ments, as well as cor­po­rate guide­lines es­tab­lished by its Board of Di­rec­tors.

DI­VER­SITY
It is, and will continue to be, the policy of CDM Smith to seek di­ver­sity in its teaming and sub­con­tract­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties and afford all in­ter­ested parties with the op­por­tu­nity to compete. This includes making good faith efforts to provide maximum op­por­tu­ni­ties, to the greatest extent possible, for small business concerns of all types to par­tic­i­pate in the firm’s procurement of goods and services. CDM Smith believes it has an affirmative duty and commitment to seek out and identify qual­i­fied small businesses to include on source lists for procurement op­por­tu­ni­ties, in par­tic­u­lar those com­pa­nies that are either dis­ad­van­taged, women-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or located in HUBZones. CDM Smith reviews each pro­cure­ment op­por­tu­nity and seeks sub­con­trac­tors and vendors that can meet client project needs and di­ver­sity goals while pro­vid­ing value for the op­por­tu­ni­ties being pursued.

ETHICS POLICY
CDM Smith is com­mit­ted to ethical conduct in its business prac­tices and strives to develop and maintain mutually ben­eficial rela­tion­ships with subcon­trac­tors and vendors based on their ca­pa­bil­ity to provide quality products and de­pend­able service at prices that con­tribute to the firm’s compet­i­tive­ness within the marketplace. CDM Smith expects its subcon­trac­tors and vendors to deliver quality products and services at fair and rea­son­able prices, work together with CDM Smith in de­liv­er­ing ex­cel­lent work for client projects, work safely and protect the en­vi­ron­ment, and be ethical and fair. The Code of Ethics and the Anti-Corruption Compliance Program apply globally to all CDM Smith employees as well as to agents, consultants, subcontractors and vendors.

 WHAT WE PURCHASE 
As a full-service engineering and construc­tion firm, CDM Smith is looking to identify subcon­trac­tors and vendors that will support the firm’s projects in the following strategic areas: water resource management, envi­ron­men­tal stewardship, energy management and development, trans­porta­tion infra­struc­ture and mobility, design-build, and program management. 

REGIS­TRA­TION  
You are invited to register your company, if your company provides services that CDM Smith is likely to purchase. Regis­tra­tion enters your company into the CDM Smith database of vendors and subcon­trac­tors and gives your company visibility among the procurement profes­sion­als working on active CDM Smith projects worldwide. Registrants are not auto­mat­i­cally placed on a pre-approved bidder list, rather the registrant profiles are reviewed at the time subcon­trac­tor and vendor services are required for each project based on project-specific require­ments. You will only be contacted by CDM Smith when you are being considered for work on a project.
