The History and Business Case for the 

National Veteran Business Development Council 

National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) was established in 2013 to address the growing need to identify and certify both service disabled and veteran owned businesses (SD/VOBs) in the government and commercial (corporate) marketplace. The NVBDC administers a rigorous certification process designed to withstand the scrutiny of governmental and corporate entities seeking to utilize certified SD/VOBs. 

The NVBDC adopted these rigorous standards to align with supplier diversity industry best practices.  Supplier Diversity practitioners sought to do business with SD/VOBs but required assurance that the companies were owned and operated by SD/VOBs.  NVBDC sought to create a credible certifying agency to address this gap and to meet the needs of corporations by defining the governance for certification standards for SD/VOBs.

NVBDC certification provides the assurance to corporate partners that the veteran suppliers that they intend to contract with have gone through a rigorous vetting process.  Corporate partners will be provided access to a database of certified SD/VOBs.  The NVBDC will participate in and co-sponsor networking and educational events with our corporate partners.  The organization commits to launching a strong outreach campaign to grow its sponsorship to ensure success in finding the best qualified SD/VOBs.  

In addition to strategic and target sourcing, the National Veteran Business Development Council strives to develop a best-in-class supplier development and training program to assure our corporate partners have access to a contract-ready pool of SD/VOBs.
