In context
How Small Business Enterprise works in supplier diversity
SBE certification is often issued by state and local governments for procurement programs. Size standards vary by NAICS code and can be based on average annual revenue (typically under $750K to $41.5M) or number of employees (typically under 500 to 1,500). SBE is the most basic certification and often serves as a prerequisite for other certifications.
