Facilities Administration and Environmental Health & Safety (FAEHS) works to ensure purchasing decision makers at UAB provide fair opportunities to small, local businesses as suppliers of goods and services. Our department supports UAB’s strategic plan by helping to ensure we are good stewards of our resources and support the economic development in the City of Birmingham.

We partner with the Planning Design & Construction (PD&C) team to increase DBE participation in the procurement and construction process. We also support PD&C with Small Public Works projects, ensuring fair opportunities for DBE participation.
