"Small business is good business"
At Leidos, partnering with small businesses is more than a commitment—it's a core part of our business strategy and supported at the highest levels of management. Our dedication to small businesses is deeply ingrained in our history, as Leidos was once a small business itself.

We believe small businesses, including small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, HUBzone companies and historically black colleges and universities as well as minority institutions bring good capabilities and technical know-how to assist Leidos and better serve our customers.

Supplier diversity
We believe that a focus on inclusion and diversity across Leidos improves team performance, influences innovative business strategies and drives positive results by advancing our workforce, cultivating an inclusive workplace and advancing our reputation in the marketplace. This extends through our supply chain, where the inclusion of minority-owned and operated businesses is fundamental to our ability to meet the important missions of our customers.
Inclusion and Diversity at Leidos
To underline our commitment to supplier diversity Leidos is partnering with national bodies who represent diverse minorities who add unique perspectives to the solutions we provide for our customers at all levels.

SLATE
SLATE is a Leidos web-based claim submission tool hosted by our partner Unanet. Suppliers using the SLATE tool are required to log their Labor and Expense claims on a daily, or weekly, basis to be approved for processing NLT Sunday (the end of the work week).
Sustainability and social responsibility
Leidos is committed to advancing Global Citizenship in all aspects of our business, including our procurement activities. We understand the potential effects our procurement decisions have both on the environment and in our communities, and we support operating in a socially and environmentally responsible manner including the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights. Principles of sustainability are woven into the fabric of Leidos culture through our mission, vision, and corporate values. We are committed to a management approach that protects the environment by avoiding, mitigating, and remediating negative impacts of our operations. We expect our suppliers to comply with all local environmental, health, and safety regulations and encourage them to join us in protecting the environment by informing us of environmentally preferable product offerings, using processes, materials, and transportation methods that support sustainability of the environment throughout the supply chain (e.g., applying energy-efficient, environmentally friendly technologies to reduce waste, and emissions to air, water, and soil). Further, we expect our suppliers to not engage in the discrimination of employees or discriminate in the selection of lower-tier suppliers on the basis of sex, race, color, age, religion, creed, sexual orientation, national origin or citizenship, ancestry, disability, marital status, gender identity, military or veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.

We would like to express our sincere thanks for your efforts to help Leidos meet our business objectives with uncompromising integrity and business ethics.
Requesting a past performance rating
We understand the challenges small business suppliers have in obtaining past performance ratings for use with offers on prime contracts with the Federal Government. In compliance with the SBA final rule, published July 22, 2022, in the Federal Register, document citation 87 FR 43731, we have simplified the process. First- tier small business suppliers and subcontractors may request past performance evaluations for services or products provided on a Leidos prime contract within the past three years. To begin the process, complete the form below. Please allow 15-days for completion.
