The Cox supplier selection process emphasizes overall best value. We develop supplier partnerships, assist in the diversity supplier sign-up process, and encourage our suppliers to utilize our Procurement Card (MasterCard) process when applicable.

Preferred Suppliers

We look at various factors including the following when making a determination for whom we purchase goods or services:

• Environmental Initiatives
• Logistics
• Price
• Quality Product/Service Options
• Diversity Participation
• Financial Stability

As part of our new program we will be providing a sign-up process in the future for creating a supplier partnership with Cox.

For certain* small dollar purchases (under $2,000) we have a credit card/P-Card program through MasterCard. Participating in our P-Card program helps you avoid the costs associated with generating invoices. Eliminating the need for paper invoices is a savings to both your company and Cox.

*The P-Card Program excludes capital expenditures, inventory, suppliers requiring a 1099 or purchases requiring a Purchase Order.

Please note: Receipts (paper or electronic) are required; however supplier invoices should not be presented to Cox.

Our suppliers are highly encouraged to offer MasterCard as an accepted method of payment. Cox will work with our suppliers to obtain detailed transactions. If you are interested in receiving payments via our P-Card program, please direct inquiries to PCardProgram@cox.com for more information.

Diversity Suppliers

Cox Communications’ mission for Supplier Diversity is directly linked to our procurement policy and supply chain goals. Cast a wide net in order to provide equal access to purchasing opportunities for a diverse array of competitive minority and women-owned suppliers that truly reflects the diversity of our marketplace and customer base. We invite you to visit our Diversity Supplier information on this site for additional details and sign-up.
