センター・オブ・エクセレンス認証プログラム

The NMSDC Centers of Excellence Certificate Program (COECP) is a 12-month innovative and rigorous diverse vendor business development initiative.

COECP facilitates the development and growth of businesses with $1 million to less than $10 million in sales to become more prepared to compete effectively and win larger contracts with corporations, anchor institutions and government agencies.

センター・オブ・エクセレンス認証プログラムについて

In 2018, NMSDC partnered with Rutgers University, Institute Supply Management, and Covenant Business Concepts to launch a new Centers of Excellence Certificate Program. Designed for business owners with revenues of $1 million to less than $10 million in sales, the curriculum is comparable to a graduate school learning experience. To date there have been 5 cohorts with participation driven primarily by the corporate sponsors service area.

Starting in 2024, the identification and recruitment of businesses to participate in a cohort transitioned away from affiliate councils located within the corporate sponsors services area, to a national offering managed by NMSDC. This change will facilitate the inclusion of a broader number of businesses to participate in the program who have been unable to do so because of geographic barrier constraints. The supplier demand for the COECP has always exceeded the number of available cohort slots so we are excited to respond with this process improvement.
