Become a USPAACC Certified Business
What is the USPAACC Certification?
The USPAACC certification increases business opportunities with Fortune companies and Government agencies. Since 1989, USPAACC’s Asian American Business Certification program has provided corporate and government supplier diversity and small business programs with qualified and quality suppliers they seek.
Certified members have the advantage of being selected for consideration for minority contract opportunities when they become available. Over the course of 29-years, USPAACC has leveraged its strong ties and relationships with prime contractors and Federal agencies to successfully match its supplier members with Fortune corporations and Government agencies.
