Q: What if I registered with TE Supplier Diversity, but have not been contacted for a procurement opportunity?

 

A: If your company has not been contacted for a potential procurement opportunity, either the opportunity has not yet occurred, we do not have a need for the product/service your company provides, or a match between your company’s product/service and our procurement needs has not been identified.
