Certification officers are responsible for identifying and certifying business enterprises by conducting thorough and effective eligibility reviews while ensuring that vendors receive prompt and responsive customer service.

The Office of Supplier Diversity maintains a directory of certified business enterprises online.

St.Ours added, “Governor Scott recently released a letter encouraging businesses owned by veterans to learn more about the Veteran Business Enterprise Opportunity Act.   Through our Veteran Owned Business Project, we work closely with 1,000s of Florida businesses owned by veterans.  We look forward to helping reach these fellow veteran owned businesses to ensure they are familiar with this business certification process and program.  Any state program that helps validate businesses owned by our country’s military heroes can only be a step in the right direction!”
