Finding HUB Suppliers
We are committed to assisting all departments with engaging HUB suppliers for their procurement needs. Below are instructions on how to find HUB suppliers:
- Search the Workday supplier database by running the Find HUB Suppliers report. This will allow you to view all suppliers with eligible certifications to qualify them as a HUB supplier in our database. Report output can be filtered by supplier group and classification for a more targeted review.
- Search the Explorer Search tool in the Supplier.IO database to view a nationwide list of HUB suppliers. This tool allows you to filter by specific certifications, location, business size etc. or view all HUB suppliers in the industry for a wider pool of potential suppliers. Access to Supplier.io Explorer Professional now available in MyLSU (Financial Services>Supplier.IO)
- Search Other Online Directories to view a targeted list of HUB suppliers in their network. Many agencies allow access to their certified supplier database. See below for links to these websites.
- In the event a HUB supplier cannot be located in Workday, submit a HUB Supplier Request via the IT Self-Service Portal. To accurately recommend a HUB supplier that best suits the needs of the request, the web form should include as much information as possible impacting the purchase (I.E. location, timeframe, special licenses, etc.).
- In the event a HUB supplier does not exist or cannot be located in this commodity, Supplier Engagement will grant a one-time waiver to proceed with the procurement process.

We are continuing to expand our HUB supplier database. If a department is aware of a proposed HUB supplier not in Workday, please encourage the supplier to register with LSU! The supplier may view the LSU Supplier Registration for instructions to get registered.
