    FAQ

    In order to become certified by the Florida Office of Supplier Diversity (OSD) as a woman, veteran, or minority-owned business enterprise, a business must meet the eligibility criteria set forth in Rule 60A-9, Florida Administrative Code. Further, the vendor must register in MyFloridaMarketPlace as a vendor, identify itself as a woman, veteran, or minority-owned business and submit supporting documentation to OSD for review.

    You may begin the registration process via the State of Florida’s Vendor Information Portal (VIP). The system will also ask about your social economic status and will prompt you to select the socio-economic categories that apply to you (woman, veteran, and/or minority). After completing the registration in VIP, review the required documentation for certification and submit to the Office of Supplier Diversity. Review the Certification Required Documents before you submit your documents.

    The MyFloridaMarketPlace Vendors section of this website provides information and resources to current and prospective vendor customers.
