The US Business Leaders Network® Disability Supplier Diversity ProgramSM (DSDP) offers businesses that are owned by an individual(s) with a disability, including service disabled veterans, an exciting opportunity to increase their access to potential contracting opportunities with major corporations, government agencies, and one another. Through the USBLN® DSDP, your business can obtain Disability-Owned Business Enterprise Certification and get connected to a nationwide network of corporate and government procurement professionals, disability advocates, and other certified disability-owned businesses.

Certified Disability-Owned Business Enterprises are incorporated into the USBLN® Certified Supplier Database, where procurement representatives from major corporations actively seek potential candidate vendors for bidding opportunities. Additionally, certified disability-owned businesses are eligible to participate in DSDP matchmaking and educational seminars for certified businesses. To learn more about the benefits of certification, please download the USBLN® DSDP Business Opportunities Toolkit Overview.
