What is a Certified Veteran-Owned Business?
Since 2017, the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) has been the accepted Service Disabled/ Veteran Owned Business (VOB) certification body of the Billion Dollar Roundtable, an organization with members that consist exclusively of U.S.-based corporations that have attained $1 billion or more in annual Tier 1 supply-chain diversity spend, all members dedicating a portion of supply chain spend on SD/VOBs.
The NVBDC emerged to address a gap in the market. Corporations sought a reliable, non-governmental 3rd party to certify the status of SD/VOBs, ensuring “that credible documentation exists of a business’ Veteran status, ownership and control.”
New Opportunities for MCS
Now, as a certified VOB, Medical Component Specialists can leverage a new market of world-class corporate entities looking for quality, diversified suppliers for their supply chains. Since this certification is recognized by the Billion Dollar Roundtable, it adheres to the organization’s stringent corporate standards, meaning that MCS can maintain and demonstrate its compliance with the best practices and quality standards of internationally recognizable businesses. Benefits of the VOB certification include:
- Access to a large market of corporate partners.
- Contracting opportunities for supplier diversity initiatives.
- Adherence to rigorous certification requirements to uphold quality and best practices.
