Enterprise Contracts and Certifications 

   

Through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), you can complete a certification process and contract with the federal government. Certification as a woman-, native-, minority- veteran-owned business or a small business can increase access to government contracts.

Research your local supplier diversity certification programs. Some of these programs are at a regional level, county level or city level and at times have a mandate to do business with woman-, native-, minority- veteran-owned business. 

Government contracts: Look into doing business with your local government agency for additional information about their procurement process. 

Company contracts: Many large companies have supplier and procurement programs and host procurement open houses.
