Your responsibility is to seek the best value proposition for Westinghouse. In this case, you may wish to ask your supervisor why he/she is asking you to select another vendor. If you are uncomfortable discussing the situation with your supervisor, use another avenue in the Westinghouse Help Chain to raise your concerns.
A kickback is a form of corruption that involves two parties agreeing that a portion of sales or profits will be improperly given, rebated, or kicked back to the purchaser in exchange for making the deal. Westinghouse prohibits all forms of bribery and corruption.
