For supplier-diversity programs

A company-reported MBE, and a supplier packet you can forward.

Candid8 reports that it is an NMSDC-certified MBE through Houston MSDC. That is the company’s own statement, so confirm it with Houston MSDC before relying on it. Every item is listed below with its status.

Tier 1 and Tier 2

Ask how your program counts each one.

Tier 1 is spend with us directly. Tier 2 is spend through your prime.

Whether resold hardware, licenses and circuits count toward your goals is set by your program, not by us. We will say plainly what we resell and what we manage.

A state HUB listing is not the same thing as an NMSDC MBE. We list credentials separately and claim no equivalence.
