FRMBC Certification Process
Step 1. Complete the FRMBC’s Pre-qualification. Pre-qualification
ensures that you may meet the National Minority Supplier Development
Council’s (NMSDC) criteria for certification. It also briefly
outlines the various documents needed for certification.
Step 2. Submit certification fee. ( This fee is non-refundable)
Step 3. Confirmation of receipt of pre-qualification will be sent
including the complete Certification Application.
Note: All applications must be completed and received by the FRMBC
within sixty days of the confirmation of your pre-qualification.
An application remaining incomplete sixty days following the confirmation
of the pre-qualification will result in the stoppage of your certification
process. Re-application is permitted one year after the end of your
initial certification process. The certification fee is non-refundable
at this point.
Step 4. Upon receipt of the completed application and all attachments,
a site visit will be scheduled and completed at your corporation’s
headquarters.
Step 5. All completed applications with completed site visits will
be presented to the certification committee. The certification
committee meets once a month to review all MBE certification applications.
Corporate Members of the FRMBC make up the certification committee.
Step 6. Upon approval, certificates of MBE certification will be
issued.
