National Buyer Supplier Program Applications Due Date
The National Business League (NBL) is pleased to announce that the application portal is now officially open for the 2025–2026 cohort of its nationally recognized National Buyer Supplier Program (NBSP)—the country’s only comprehensive initiative solely focused on elevating supplier readiness for Black-owned and underrepresented businesses.
Now entering its fifth year, the NBSP is backed by an elite group of Fortune 500 partners—including Cummins, DTE Energy, Ford, General Motors, Lear, Stellantis, and Toyota—and has helped participating suppliers secure more than $150 million in contract opportunities since 2021. Notably, 60% of program alumni have achieved double-digit business growth within two years of completion.
