Certifications & Partners:
MBE (Minority Owned Business Enterprise):
Minority group members are United States citizens who are Asian-Indian, Asian-Pacific, Black, Hispanic and Native American. Ownership by minority individuals means the business is at least 51% owned by such individuals or, in the case of a publicly owned business, at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more such individuals (i.e. the management and daily operations are controlled by those minority group members.)
SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business):
SDVOSB certification is similar to VOSB certification, but it is specifically for small businesses that are at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans.
Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB):
Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) is a company diversity registration designated under the Veteran Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-461). Registration ensures that companies qualify for preferential procurement for federal contracts if they are owned and controlled by Veterans.
