Register as a supplier

If you are interested in becoming a retailer for Shaw products, please visit https://shawfloors.com/product-information/frequently-asked-questions/retail-questions
 

You will need basic company information such as an address, phone number, and a contact person. You will need to provide the names of all company owners and officers to verify U.S. regulatory compliance.  You will be asked to provide a brief explanation of your offerings as well as your business capability.  For the purpose of supplier diversity tracking, we will ask your NAICS code, number of employees, annual revenues, and any business classifications you may fit.

The North American Industry Classification System classifies businesses and the products or services they offer.  This is a universal classification system applicable to businesses globally.  If you do not know your NAICS code, please visit https://www.naics.com/search/. Please note that a NAICS code is self-assigned and is not unique to each company.

Although all qualified small or diverse suppliers are encouraged to submit their information, suppliers will be evaluated and selected based on the quality of their offerings and the value they provide to Shaw.

You will receive a confirmation email after you accept our terms and conditions and complete your registration. Our registration system will match the appropriate specialist with your company, and someone will contact you if there is a need for your product or offering at that time.

Due to the number of registrations we receive, we do not connect specialists with potential suppliers unless there is a need for your product or offering at that time.

If you offer a service or a product that requires you to visit a Shaw facility, please be advised that you will have to meet certain insurance requirements before your visit.

If you become a supplier for Shaw, there may be an opportunity to discuss an agreement that will supersede the Standard Terms & Conditions, but accepting the Terms & Conditions is a requirement for registering.

Diversity and inclusion is important at Shaw and we believe our business growth and strength is dependent on it.

At Shaw we strive for diversity and inclusion among our associates as well as our supplier base.  We define Supplier Diversity as proactively providing equal access to Shaw’s purchasing opportunities to all qualified suppliers.  We want to promote supplier participation that is reflective of Shaw's diverse customer base and local community.  We believe having a strong Supplier Diversity Program is strategic for bringing more innovation to our business and opening new markets for growth. 

Shaw’s Global Sourcing team is responsible for tracking diverse spend categories that are captured when a supplier is registered, onboarded or during maintenance of the supplier record.  Diverse spend is reported on a quarterly basis both internally and externally to our customers and the federal government. 

Shaw recognizes a diverse business as:

• Small, as defined by the SBA (Small Business Administration)
  • Size standards vary by industry NAICS Code and can depend on revenues or number of employees
• Businesses with 51%+ owned and controlled by a:
  • Woman
  • Veteran/Service-Disabled Veteran
  • Minority
    • African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, Native American
  • LGBT - Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender
• Eligible for additional government classifications:
  • HUBZone (Businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones)
  • Small Disadvantaged Businesses (also defined as small, minority owned businesses) 

With the exception of HUBZone business, Shaw allows all suppliers to self-certify their diversity status.  We do not require third party certifications.

How do you know if your business is small?

1. You can use the SBA size standards tool. This requires you to know your NAICS CODE. Please note that your NAICS Code is self assigned and not unique to each company. Each NAICS Code has either an average annual revenue or employee count that will determine whether your business is small or large.
2. You must also be independently owned. Public companies and subsidiaries of larger organizations are not eligible for small business status.

How do you know if your business qualifies as a HUBZone?

1. You must be a small business (see above).
2. 51%+ of your ownership must be by a U.S. Citizen.
3. Your principal office AND 35% of your employees must live in a HUBZone, which can be verified by using the SBA HUBZone map website.
4. If your business qualifies, please follow the guidelines for certification on the SBA’s HUBZone website.

Shaw’s Supplier Diversity Program includes:

1. Formation of a Corporate Council for Diversity & Inclusion Sub-Team focused on growing supplier diversity, partnering with Associate Resource Groups (ARGs)
2. Partnership with local and national diverse trade associations
3. Participation & presentations at diversity networking events
4. Performance goals set around increasing spend with diverse suppliers
