The Wisconsin Supplier D​iversity Program (SDP) certifies Minority-Owned (MBE), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (DVB) and Woman-Owned (WBE) businesses to provide better opportunities for them to do business with the State of Wisconsin and to assist the State of Wisconsin in achieving its goal of purchasing 5% with MBEs and 1% with DVBs. 
​
The SDP verifies that businesses are at least 51% owned, managed, and controlled by a member or members of selected population. C​ertified MBE and DVB businesses may receive a permissive 5% bid preference when they bid on state contracts.​
