UT Southwestern Medical Center
RESPONSE TO QUESTION 1 -- DOWNSTREAM
IMPACT
UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSWMC) has developed a three-
pronged approach to expand its supply chain impact to increase minority
business inclusion.
First of all, UTSWMC has escalated its communication and elevated its
partnerships with awarded prime contractors. Secondly, it has aligned
the Supplier Diversity/Historically Underutilized Business Program (HUB)
and the Purchasing department; the UTSWMC HUB Program personnel
now report directly to the Purchasing Director.
Finally, UTSWMC has developed and implemented policies and
procedures to accurately evaluate and measure prime suppliers’ lower
tier participation. Due to these efforts, UTSWMC has transitioned from
compliance reporting to incorporation of the HUB Program into all of the
comprehensive procurement strategies.
One recent example of the impact of the new policy changes involved
UTSWMC’s William P. Clements University Hospital (CUH) project,
wherein UTSWMC conducted an audit of one of the larger prime
contractors and its HUB efforts. This audit enabled UTSWMC’s
collaboration with the prime supplier to review progress report
submissions. The audit process determined that the prime supplier was
inadvertently under-reporting its actual HUB Program participation. This
correction bolstered confidence of both parties in the newly-
implemented policies and procedures because the outcome was
mutually beneficial. As a result, UTSWMC’s minority business
inclusion/HUB Program participation increased from 19.3 % to 29.9% on
the CUH project for the beginning of FY19.
In summary, UTSWMC’s incorporation of the HUB Program into the
Purchasing Department has shown early success; this integration will
enable the HUB department to become a strategic partner in the
advancement of the North Texas Community.

The D/FW MSDC 2019 BTTBUTM Aggregate Profile
The 2019 BTTBUTM Aggregate Profile is based upon submissions by buying
entities of the BTTBUTM numerical results. We salute those who
responded to this portion of the survey. It allows us to look at trends
related to year-over-year spending with MBEs both in the Metroplex and
nationally.
Minority inclusion spend with D/FW MSDC certified suppliers increased
slightly in 2019 reporting. There was bigger growth in spend with NMSDC
certified suppliers who were not certified in D/FW MSDC. However, those
companies headquartered in the region continued their concentration on
the utilization of regionally headquartered suppliers.

Tier 2 spend or spend through primes decreased slightly and may be due
to the mix of Buying Entities reporting in this iteration more than the lack
of actual Tier 2 spend. Not all companies capture this number.
Best practices that highlight elements that make a strong supplier
diversity program showed only minor changes. Perhaps the most relevant
is the decrease in written goals for primes, supplier diversity
professionals and buyers. What gets measured gets done, so we would
hope this trend is related more to the types of companies included in the
mix.

BTTBUTM BUILDING CAPACITY FUND
“Growing the capacity of certified minority business suppliers is a core
initiative of the Dallas/Fort Worth Minority Supplier Development
Council, said Heather Herndon-Wright, Co-Chair of the BTTBUTM initiative
and Senior Director, Supplier Diversity with Vistra Energy. “We not only
want to help grow firms, we also want them to have the economic well-
being to use products produced by buying entities – BUY THOSE THAT
BUY USTM!”
In 2009, the Council developed a fund to assist deserving MBEs in the
growth and development of their businesses. At the September Quarterly
Buyers Appreciation Luncheon each year, awards of up to $5,000 are
granted to MBEs. To date, the fund has awarded over $142,850 in cash
and over $25,000 of “in-kind” training to D/FW MSDC MBEs to grow their
businesses. These awards have been used to obtain licenses in an
industry, OSHA training, purchase key pieces of equipment and more.
To qualify as a recipient, the company must be a D/FW MSDC certified
MBE that has been certified by the Council for at least two years. The
recipient must identify a critical need for its business that, if met, will
support the growth and development of the business. The cash award
may partially or fully fund this need.
Contributions may be made to the BTTBUTM Building Capacity Fund at any
time throughout the year by Buying Entity Partners and MBEs. We
welcome and encourage your contribution. Checks may be made payable
to D/FW MSDC in the name of the BTTBUTM Building Capacity Fund.
