In FY25, 29.2% of the university's discretionary purchases were with small businesses. That’s $287.7 million going directly to small businesses that help our community thrive.
In that same period, 18.8% of discretionary purchases, or $176.1 million, were with local businesses in Charlottesville, as well as the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson.
We appreciate the thoughtful buying choices the University Community makes every day. Thank you for helping us prioritize small and local suppliers!
If you’d like to learn more about your school or unit’s small and local business spend, or ways to grow those partnerships, reach out to our Supplier Engagement team in Procurement Services via askfinance@virginia.edu. We’re happy to help!
