Procurement Organizations
We encourage registered MBEs and WBEs to pursue opportunities throughout Pfizer. Our three key procurement organizations are Pfizer Global Sourcing (PGS), Pfizer Global Manufacturing (PGM) and Pfizer Global Research and Development (PGRD). Our Supplier Diversity Department is housed within PGS, but we maintain regular contact - and share our MBE/WBE database - with all sourcing organizations in the company.

PGS Strategic Sourcing Process
Within PGS, we follow a seven-step strategic sourcing process. This process, whose steps are shown below, helps ensure a solid fit between a project's requirements and a supplier's capabilities. As a result of thorough, up-front analysis, this process also significantly improves the odds of long-term success for all members of a project team. We encourage potential suppliers to familiarize themselves with our process so that when the opportunity arises they will understand where and how they might add value.

    Strategic Sourcing Process

  1. Identify business need; conduct pre-project planning; review applicable supplier diversity registrations
  2. Form cross-functional team and define project
  3. Collect internal and external data
  4. Perform strategic analysis
  5. Formulate strategies and develop implementation plans
  6. Refine implementation plan and select supplier
  7. Measure, monitor and report project progress
