Who is SMSDC
The Southwest Minority Supplier Development Council (SMSDC) is the minority business owner’s direct link to corporate America.
In 2007, the largest US corporations purchased more than $100 BILLION in goods and services supplied by minority-owned enterprises (MBEs) certified by the 37 regionally-affiliated councils of the National Minority Supplier Development Council. Over $301 MILLION was spent in the SMSDC service area alone!
SMSDC has offices in Austin, San Antonio, Harlingen and El Paso. Our service area extends from Austin, San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley along the Texas / Mexican border toward Laredo / Eagle Pass-Del Rio, Midland / Odessa, and back to El Paso.
“We do 3 things…
Certify Connect Develop”
*Bonus
When a minority company becomes certified with any Texas business council, then that company automatically becomes State of Texas HUB certified. SMSDC uploads their information into the state’s HUB list – at no additional cost.
