We certify disability-owned business enterprises and link them to entities looking to diversify their supply chains.

 

The Supplier Diversity program is the leading third-party certifier of disability-owned business enterprises (DOBE®s), including veteran-owned business enterprises (V-DOBE™s) and service-disabled veteran-owned business enterprises (SDV-DOBE™s).

Beyond certification, the program provides information, tools and other developmental resources — helping certified suppliers expand contract opportunities with key corporate partners, government agencies and other disability-owned businesses. A disability-owned business enterprise (DOBE) is a business that is (for profit and) at least 51% owned, managed and controlled by a person with a disability. We do not certify non-profit organizations or private businesses who employ person(s) with disabilities.
