Case Study: Sacramento Municipal Utility District strengthens supplier diversity with MGT
A MGT Case Study
Sacramento Municipal Utility District maps a market where nearly 50% of firms are minority- or women-owned with MGT
The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) sought to strengthen its supplier diversity program and expand opportunities for small, local vendors but lacked precise data on the small business landscape in its service area. To address this challenge, SMUD engaged vendor MGT to conduct a comprehensive Small Business Availability Study.
MGT's solution involved creating a detailed database of local businesses by combining multiple data sources, including government records and a custom census survey. The analysis measured business capacity by industry and demographics, identifying significant opportunities for engagement with minority- and women-owned firms. As a result, SMUD was able to refine its outreach strategies, set informed participation goals, and strengthen its local vendor base, keeping more procurement dollars within the community.
