Build a Stronger, More Diverse Supply Chain

The Council is how corporations across the Carolinas and Virginia find, vet, and build relationships with qualified suppliers. We've been doing this for nearly 50 years, and our network reflects that depth.

Whether you're building a supplier diversity program from scratch, sourcing for a specific need, or investing in the development of small businesses, The Council is your partner.

What We Offer

What we offer corporate partners

Access to a vetted SBE network

Every business in our network has been through a rigorous certification process that validates ownership, business legitimacy, and operational readiness. You're not searching a database. You're accessing a network that's built on relationships.

Reduced sourcing risk

The Council's certification means the due diligence has been done. Our SBEs are who they say they are, and they can do what they say they can do. That's the foundation the NMSDC built this system on, and it's why Fortune 500 companies trust it.

Supplier development investment

The strongest corporate partners don't just source from our network, they invest in it. Sponsoring development programs helps build the capacity of SBEs to grow into larger, more capable suppliers over time. That's good for your supply chain and for the communities you operate in.
