Common Supplier Engagement

Common Supplier Engagement (CSE) is the alignment and integration of the policies, processes, data, technology and people to provide a consistent experience for suppliers and DoD stakeholders to ensure reliable and accurate delivery of acceptable goods and services to support the warfighter.

The primary goal of CSE is to simplify and standardize the methods that DoD uses to interact with commercial and government suppliers in the acquisition of catalog, stock, as well as made-to-order and engineer-to-order goods and services. CSE also provides the associated visibility of supplier-related information to the Warfighting and Business Mission Areas.

Common Supplier Engagement Objectives

• Streamline and reduce complexities of the process touch points between DoD and suppliers
• Adopt standard business processes, rules, data, and interoperable systems across DoD to ensure reliable and accurate delivery of acceptable goods and services
