The National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) has certified De Lune Corp as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE).
De Lune Corp is a fast-growing, multi-tier business with diverse interests, ranging from IT and Healthcare Administration services to Energy and Agribusiness, with specialties in supply chain efficiency and tailored logistics.
The MBE certifies the ownership of a business as being truly minority-owned, providing legitimacy to a business’ claims. Accordingly, De Lune Corp is certified as being 100% minority-founded and owned with owners serving in leadership positions and active in daily management of the business.
As an organization certified MBE by the National Minority Supplier Development Council, De Lune Corp is now provided opportunities for contracting, capacity building, networking and customized executive education. De Lune Corp will also join a network of 15,000+ MBEs with opportunities to form partnerships, strategic alliances and joint ventures. NMSDC also hosts business opportunity fairs including the largest US conference focused on minority business development where MBEs can present themselves to prospective buyers, government agencies and procurement professionals.
The MBE certification comes on top of De Lune Corp’s 8(a) certification from the Federal Government via the Small Business Administration (SBA). The nine-year long business development program provides De Lune Corp the opportunity to compete for set-aside and sole-source contracts from federal agencies.
Said De Lune Corp President Gaddafi Ismail, “We are excited to have our status as a business that is minority owned, managed and controlled certified by the respected body and growth engine for communities of color that is NMSDC. We look forward to working with the MBE community across America as well as inclusive corporates looking to work with MBEs and support entrepreneurship across communities that have been systematically excluded.”
