To be considered a diversity supplier you must be certified by a third-party certifying agency.
Submit a supplier profile form to register in Albertson’s supplier database.
Meet Albertson’s supplier selection criteria and bid specification requirements.
What is Albertson’s supplier database?
Albertson’s supplier database is a primary resource tool used by Corporate Strategic Sourcing to identify qualified suppliers for participation in upcoming bids. Please note that completion of the supplier profile form does not approve, qualify or guarantee business with Albertson’s.
Do I have to be registered in Albertson’s supplier database to be considered for a bid opportunity?
No, but we prefer that you do register in our database because your company's capabilities and qualifications will be more easily accessible for sourcing opportunities.
I am not certified as a diversity business or I am self-certified. Can I still register in Albertson’s supplier database?
You may register in Albertson’s supplier database regardless of your classification. However, Albertson’s does not accept self-certification; a third-party certifying agency must certify your company as a diversity business if you indicate certification.

What happens when I send my application?
An email will be sent to you confirming that Albertson’s received your application. When a bid opportunity arises at the local, regional or national level that could match your company's product/service, you may be contacted about participating.
What does "certification" mean?
Certification means your company's day-to-day operations and ownership structure has been reviewed by a third-party certifying agency and is certified by them as a diverse business. Suppliers are responsible for acquiring and maintaining valid certification.
Once I submit a sample for evaluation, how long will it be until I receive your response?
All samples are forwarded to the appropriate department, where sourcing managers will complete their evaluation as promptly as possible. If you haven't heard back from us within 30 days of submission, contact the Supplier Diversity Director and/or Manager at supplierdiversity@albertsons.com
Which third-party certifying agencies does Albertson’s recognize?
Albertson’s recognizes a number of agencies, including, but not limited to:
Can I work directly with Albertson’s local divisions?
No. All product evaluation and negotiations must be conducted through our corporate office in Boise, ID. However, if there is a product and/or service that is deemed applicable to the local markets the corporate Supplier Diversity team will introduce your company to Albertson’s local division representative.
Does Albertson’s do business with only large companies?
Albertson’s works with companies of all sizes, on a local, regional and national basis.
How often are contracts renewed?
Contract duration varies depending on the individual product or service. When a contract comes up for renewal, Albertson’s will invite qualified suppliers who may or may not be registered in our supplier database to participate in the bid opportunity.
What is your turn-around time on invoices?
Payment terms may vary depending on commodities and/or services rendered.
