As of August 20, 2025, all MBE certifications will be managed by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) and processed via The NMSDC Hub.
The transition period will last approximately 16 calendar days, through (September 8, 2025.). During this transition, new MBE certifications can get started using the pre-qualification link below, however, current MBEs and applicants that have already started the process will not be able to access the database for certification purposes. At the end of this data-freeze period, MBEs and applicants will be sent an announcement that The NMSDC Hub is now open to continue your current application or start a recertification application when you are within 90-days of your expiration date. Please keep an eye out for an email from ZohoAdmin@nmsdc.org that will have your login details and instructions for accessing the database.
Prequalification Form for MBE Certification
The login ID for The NMSDC Hub will give you access to both the MBE Search Database, where you can find other MBEs to collaborate with, and the new Certification Module. You will only need one ID to access both systems. Existing MBEs can log in to The NMSDC Hub now to access MBE Search. When the system becomes available for certification, you will see a new Certification tile on the dashboard giving you access to the Certification Module.
Any recertification applications that were started but not submitted for processing when the data-freeze begins will have to be restarted in the new system. All other application drafts and submitted applications that have had some activity in the last six months will be transferred to the new system. When the NMSDC Hub Certification Module opens, work can resume from where it left off.
For MBEs set to expire during the data-freeze period, you will automatically receive a two-month extension on your current certification to ensure that you have plenty of time to submit your recertification application in the new system
