16. WHY DIVERSITY MATTERS
• Large US Corporations & Government agencies need the same
innovative supply chain management solutions as commercial
businesses. Whether it’s a U.S. Air force air logistics center, a food
& beverage manufacture, or a metro transit authority, Fastenal is
deploying industrial supply distribution best practices and supply
chain management solutions to solve the government’s inventory
management challenges and drive down costs.
• Fastenal customers with diversity demands include, but are not
limited to:
– Federal Government (< 5 Federal Contracts)
– City-State-Local Government (WSCA + multiple State Contracts)
– Higher Education & Healthcare
– Prime Contractors
– Large US and/or Global Corporations (Majority of our Tier 2 Demands)

17. Supply Chain Diversity
• The goal of Fastenal’s 2nd tier program is to increase purchases with small and diverse
businesses by creating close, long-term relationships that strengthen our supply chain.
Through our continuous outreach, certification compliance, qualification and utilization efforts,
we create opportunities for our suppliers, vendors and customers.
• Outreach
•Participate in local, regional and national trade shows
•Utilization of various diverse supplier directories
•Certification
• SAM ~ www.sam.gov
• Work with diverse supplier base to get certified
• Certifications within our program include:
• HubZone Certified Businesses
• Minority-Owned Business Enterprises
• Small Businesses
• Small Disadvantaged Businesses
• Veteran-Owned or Service Disabled-Veteran-Owned Businesses
• Woman-Owned

18. What does Fastenal Look for in a Diverse Business Supplier?
A complete WIN is a supplier that does business without the certification – when it’s
considered a “Gold Star” at the end of a conversation – that is the best scenario.
Looking to work with manufacturers of products we offer so we can take their products
to market across the nation…or globe. We don’t believe in ONLY marketing diverse business products to
customers that ask for diversity spend…we want more for you than that!
Looking for suppliers that have similar company values: INNOVATION, INTEGRITY, TEAMWORK &
AMBITION.
Looking to work with suppliers that know the construction & industrial supply industry
and have products that support those business opportunities.
Looking for suppliers that are ready to compete against other large & small businesses
with similar offerings – and fight to say why they’re different and deserve a shot. We’re
here to be the advocate to help do that in front of decision makers @ Fastenal…but need the foundation to support it!
Always know who your selling to – why is your company a FIT for Fastenal? Know your
competition, competitive advantage as a diverse supplier, and why your product or
service should be the one we take to market…DO YOUR HOMEWORK

20. WHO ARE WE?WHO ARE WE?
John Ernest Dunn founded JE Dunn Construction Company in Kansas
City Missouri in 1924. What began as a small, family-run residential
contractor has grown into one of the top general building contractors in
the country with approximate annual revenues of $2.7 billion and 20
office locations coast-to-coast.
JE Dunn Construction is in the business of constructing buildings, but
we do so with a higher purpose. We maintain a commitment to integrity,
collaboration, wisdom, quality, value, sustainability and safety. From
coast-to-coast, we've staked our reputation on our ability to deliver on
each of these and pledge to settle for nothing less.

22. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTCOMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The majority of JE Dunn employees spend time volunteering throughout the
year in organizations such as educational and youth development,
healthcare research, sustainability efforts, religious groups, arts and cultural
foundations, and many more.
The core value of the company – giving to & meeting community needs, was
recognized & formally structured in 1981 through the establishment of the
Dunn Family Foundation. Through the efforts of employees and the support
of the Dunn Family Foundation, JE Dunn supported more than 300
philanthropies last year.
JE Dunn has created an environment for employees which encourages
them to get involved in the communities in which they live and work. We
aren't just dedicated to building buildings, we are committed to building
better communities.

23. MINORITY CONTRACTOR BUSINESSMINORITY CONTRACTOR BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (MCBD)DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (MCBD)
The Minority Contractor Business Development Program (MCBD Program) was launched in
2006 in Kansas City and is currently being implemented at a number of JE Dunn locations
across the country. This program is comprised of MBE and WBE contractor companies that
are selected through an application and interview process. Selection criteria include industry
experience, size of company, and current conditions.
The purpose of this program is to build business development skills so that M/WBE
contractors can compete with non-minority contractors in the construction industry. During
the one-year program, participants attend classes facilitated by JE Dunn on a monthly
basis, providing them with a full curriculum of topics ranging from estimating to policies and
procedures. It is also the goal of the program to provide these companies with the tools to
participate on JE Dunn projects. Additionally, participants are paired with an experienced
mentor to offer further support and resources outside of the classroom.
