Participation Requirements

We strive to achieve the optimal combination of price, quality and service for purchased products and services through our Supply Chain Management group. Together, we help provide diverse suppliers with a broad range of opportunities to participate as suppliers. We recognize that having a diverse supplier base enhances our supply chain which contributes to increased efficiency and innovation to provide an enhanced experience for our valued customers.

It is a practice of Wells Fargo that certified diverse suppliers have a broad range of opportunities to participate in supplier contracts. Follow the three-step process to be added to our database.

Get started

Does your company provide a product or service beneficial to Wells Fargo?

Determine if your company provides products and services that we need. We source the following products and services:

  • Architecture, construction and property management, and real estate services
  • Furnishings, office equipment and supplies, moving, and storage
  • Human resource staffing, legal, marketing, and technology services
  • Promotional items and printed products
  • Service contracts, maintenance, and repair

Is your company certified as a diverse supplier?

A “diverse supplier” is a business that is at least 51% owned, managed and controlled by a diverse person or group. Wells Fargo requires that businesses asserting that they are diverse suppliers must be certified by a third party certification organization. We recognize diverse supplier certifications from local, state and federal agencies as well as organizations such as:

Certifying agencies

Certification of your company helps to ensure the integrity of Wells Fargo’s Supplier Diversity reporting. The certification process typically involves completing an application and providing written documentation, and may include allowing the certifying agency to conduct a site visit. If your company qualifies, the certifying agency will issue you a printed certificate to verify your status.

How to submit a supplier profile

Thank you for your interest in doing business with Wells Fargo. To be considered as a potential supplier, you must complete an online supplier profile.

Supplier profiles are periodically reviewed to establish initial eligibility and invite potential suppliers to participate in future sourcing/bid selection processes for various products and services. Review the following required information, to complete and submit an online supplier profile.

  1. General Information – supplier data, corporate headquarters, contact information
  2. Company and commodities Information – company and commodity information, company description, List of facilities, annual sales, UNSPSC, NAICS, commodity codes.
  3. Diversity information* – diversity classification details, current certification documentation
  4. Business experience/references – company experience, current clients, banking references
  5. Extended company profile – additional certifications, documents

*Note: If your company is diverse, please include a current copy of your diverse certification(s) with your online profile.

Completing and submitting a supplier profile:

A complete supplier profile doesn’t guarantee that your company will receive a request to participate in a sourcing/bid selection process with Wells Fargo, and doesn’t imply that your company has any type of preferred supplier relationship with Wells Fargo, either now or in the future.
