Supplier Diversity (NMSDC MBE)2026-08-25T07:34:39-04:00

NMSDC-CERTIFIED MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

Enterprise IT Expertise That Advances Your Supplier Diversity Goals

Cornerstone Data Systems is a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) through the National Minority Supplier Development Council — delivering the same Oracle, database, cloud, and managed IT services trusted by enterprises for decades. Diversity spend credit and world-class expertise are not a trade-off here. They’re the same engagement.

Why Our Certification Matters to Your Organization

If your company or agency has supplier diversity commitments, every dollar spent with Cornerstone Data Systems counts. As an NMSDC-certified MBE, engagements with us qualify toward corporate diverse-spend goals and federal, state, and local diverse supplier requirements.

For prime contractors, we’re a natural Tier 2 partner: mission-critical IT services with the documentation your diversity reporting requires. For corporations buying directly, we help procurement teams hit diversity targets on spend they were already going to make — database support, cloud migration, and managed IT.

NMSDC certification isn’t self-declared. It requires documented verification of minority ownership, management, and control, renewed on an ongoing basis — so your reporting stands on solid ground.

What is NMSDC certification?2026-08-25T07:30:52-04:00

The National Minority Supplier Development Council certifies businesses that are at least 51% minority-owned, managed, and controlled. Certification involves document review and site evaluation, and must be maintained over time — making it the standard most corporate supplier diversity programs recognize.
