Supplier Diversity

Are you ready for Disability:IN certification?

  • Do you have a disability- a physical and/or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities? [For an overview of disabilities: Download Word Doc]
  • Do you own at least 51% of your business? If yes, is this clearly evident and verifiable on all supporting business and financial documents?
  • Do you own an independent business enterprise that is not substantially reliant on another business in order to operate?
  • Do you make the day-to-day business decisions for your company?
  • Are you willing to submit the required financial and business information to our organization for a confidential review and retention in a permanent, secure environment?
  • Do you want to increase your access to private sector corporations who want to do business with disability-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses?

Note: Certification is not a guarantee of business contracts. Certification by our national organization provides third-party assurance to private sector partners that a firm meets the established conditions of ownership, management and control. It provides access to Fortune 500 and 1000 corporate decision makers and contract bidding opportunities.
