Lingual Information System Technologies, Inc.
Master Subcontract & Supplier Diversity Corporate Plan
Fiscal Years 2007 - 2010

All employees that generate a requirement, approve a purchase, commit LinguaLISTek funds, identify or select suppliers, or manage a supplier relationship are responsible for establishing and maintaining a strong, competitive supply base.

Performance Indicators — LinguaLISTek strives for continuous improvement by establishing effort-based indicators in such areas as:

• Sourcing Plans — ensuring that SB/SDB/WOSB/ VOB/SDVOSB/HUB-Zone/HBCU/MIs are included in the sourcing process, including consideration for prequalification and subcontracting opportunities.

• Attending and participating in business opportunity and trade fairs promoting SB/SDB/WOSB/VOB/SDVOSB /HUB-Zone/HBCU/MIs.

• Holding advisory and debriefing sessions with SB/SDB WOSB/ VOB/SDVOSB/HUB-Zone/HBCU/MIs.

• Participating in and sponsoring forums that provide suppliers an opportunity to obtain additional guidance on processes within specific commodity areas.

• Expanding the types and numbers of source files and related resources used to identify qualified suppliers.

• Developing, implementing, and maintaining purchasing plans and commodity strategies that include SB/SDB/ WOSB/ VOB/SDVOSB/HUB-Zone/HBCU/MIs.

• Understanding the current diversity of each category-specific supplier base and taking specific steps to ensure the continued effectiveness of that base.

• Benchmarking results with other public and private sector organizations.

Nothing in this Plan requires or permits employees that generate a requirement, approve a purchase, commit LinguaLISTek funds, identify or select suppliers, or manage a supplier relationship to grant preferential treatment to any person on the basis of race or gender.
