Product Literature and Price Lists (for ALL products to be considered by YalePharma)
Sample(s): Samples: When submitting samples, we require that you send only one of each product you want YalePharma to consider. If there are style differences, such as color or design, please feel free to include detailed product information conveying these options. Additionally, we ask that you send nothing that weighs more than 25 pounds or larger than 3-square feet. If your product exceeds this limit, please ONLY send detailed product literature that includes the specifications and illustrations/photographs of your product. Supplier Development will contact you via e-mail to request you send samples once the questionnaire has been received. Samples must be available for shipping when you submit the application. You will be required to have them sent to us at our request within 10 days.

UPC Letter (confirming authorization number): Universal Product Code (UPC): For scanning and accounting purposes, YalePharma requires all merchandise to have a UPC label (bar code). The UPC is a system for identifying thousands of suppliers and millions of items that are warehoused, sold, delivered, and billed throughout retail and commercial channels of distribution. To obtain a UPC number you must first become a member of the Uniform Code Council. To become a member of the UCC, call (937) 435-3870.

A copy of your minority or woman-owned business certification - if applicable:

Minority and Women-Owned Business Development Program

The purpose of this program is to help develop the potential of minority and women-owned businesses that provide retail goods or services. The support we offer is as varied as the individuals involved, but our goal is constant: to ensure our business approach reflects the broad marketplace we serve. Through this program, assistance in locating resources, as well as guidance and consultation are available to help program participants to become YalePharma suppliers. But, whether they become a YalePharma supplier or not, our goal is to help them develop their individual businesses.

If your business is minority or woman-owned, YalePharma recommends that you become certified by one of the authorized site certifying organizations. The National Minority Supplier Development Council or one of its regional affiliates certifies minority-owned firms and the Women Business Enterprise National Council certifies those firms considered women-owned. If your business is both minority and woman-owned, you need only one of the previously mentioned certifications.

By becoming a certified Minority / Women-Owned Enterprise you do not only become a part of an organization committed to developing your firm. You also become part of a network that is supported by more than 3,500 corporate members including most of America's largest publicly-owned, privately-owned and foreign-owned companies, as well as universities, hospitals and other buying institutions. In addition, the regional affiliates help to match your firm with member corporations, which want to purchase goods and services. For example, in 1997, member corporations of NMSDC purchased more than $36.1 billion from its certified members. When you become certified, you become part of a database from which YalePharma and other Fortune 500 companies, ranging from retail outlets to service organizations, actively seek suppliers.
