Supplier Registration Process
What is a M/W/DVBE?
A company that is 51% owned, operated, and controlled by an American minority, woman, or service disabled veteran.
You may register your company as an M/W/DVBE supplier with Telcordia Technologies, below. It is imperative that you forward your M/W/DVBE Certification within 30 days of registration. If it is not received within this time, we will not be able to consider your company as a certified M/W/DVBE. The Supplier Diversity Office will only refer or recommend companies, if a valid Certification is on file.
Please fill out an on-line Supplier Registration application.
Once all materials are received, you will be considered for inclusion in the competitive procurement process. This means if an opportunity exists, your company offerings will be matched with Telcordia specific requirements. When a match occurs, you will be considered for Requests for Proposals. Please note that inclusion in the Supplier Diversity database does not guarantee business with Telcordia.
Upon registration, you will be provided with a logon and password which will allow you to update pertinent company information. It is each suppliers' responsibility to inform Telcordia of any changes that affect ownership and that copies of current certifications be re-submitted as the old ones expire.
M/W/DVBE Certifications
Telcordia Technologies recognizes only M/W/DVBE companies for commercial work that have been certified by a
third-party certifying agency. (Self-certifications cannot be
verified, and to protect the integrity of our program, we do not allow companies to
self-certify.) Telcordia recognizes certifications from the certifying agencies listed below.
