Second-Tier Program

At Navistar, we believe that in order to remain competitive and profitable in the 21st century, we must engage in business activities with diverse suppliers, and that is imperative for both us and our suppliers to support diverse business development. Navistar's prime suppliers are expected to support us by making every effort to provide contract opportunities to diverse suppliers.

As a result of our strong support of diverse and small business development, we have implemented a Second Tier Reporting System, which requires all prime suppliers with the contracts of $650,000 or more to report their diversity spend quarterly directly into our database. This is considered our Second Tier Spend.

To begin reporting Second Tier Spend, please complete Navistar’s Supplier Diversity Registration.
