How This Works
How to work with a certified MBE design and technology studio.
Most supplier-diversity conversations stall in the same place. The certification checks out, the capability statement gets filed, and then nobody is quite sure what to actually buy or how to route it. What follows is the part that usually goes unwritten: what the certification means, how the spend gets counted, what onboarding takes, and what belongs in the scope.
What the certification actually certifies
NMSDC certifies businesses that are at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by one or more minority group members who are United States citizens. Certification is granted through a regional affiliate council after documentation review and an interview or site visit, and it is renewed annually. It is not a self-declaration a company can grant itself, and it is not a logo you take on faith: NMSDC's public MBE search at nmsdc.org/connect/mbe-search lets any buyer confirm a supplier's status directly.
It is worth being equally clear about what certification is not. It is not a price concession, a quality rating, or a promise that a set-aside exists. It states who owns and controls the company. Everything after that is the work, which is why this page also carries the capability statement, the codes, and the case studies.
Great Breads Studio is an NMSDC Certified MBE, minority-owned and Black-owned, registered and active on SAM.gov under UEI J2JXA434NS13 and CAGE 1Z8P1, and registered as a vendor with the New York State Comptroller. NYC M/WBE applied, October 2026. NYS MWBE not yet filed. When a certification is granted, this page will say so; until then it will not.
How the spend gets counted: Tier 1 and Tier 2
Corporate programs count diverse spend two ways. Tier 1 is spend paid directly to the certified supplier under a contract your company holds. Tier 2 is diverse spend a prime contractor reports through the subcontractors it uses on your work, credited back through the prime’s own reporting.
The studio works either way. Contracted directly by a brand, marketing, IT or procurement organization, that is Tier 1. Engaged by an agency of record, a systems integrator, a general contractor or another prime already holding the master agreement, that is Tier 2. Name which one you need in the first email. It changes the contract documents and the reporting path, not the work and not the team.
Onboarding, in five steps
- 01 · Verify us first. nmsdc.org/connect/mbe-search for certification status (Certificate No. NY100001248), SAM.gov for UEI J2JXA434NS13 and CAGE 1Z8P1. Two minutes, no email required, and it is the right order: verification before the introductory call, not after it.
- 02 · Scope the work, not the category. A thirty-minute call on what the business actually needs. The procurement system asks for a category code; the useful conversation is the one about the outcome, and the code follows from it.
- 03 · Documents. W-9, certificate of insurance, NMSDC certificate and references, sent directly to procurement on request. Master service agreement and NDA on your template or ours.
- 04 · Vendor record. Supplier setup in your procure-to-pay or ERP system under the codes that match the work: 541511 Custom Computer Programming Services, 541613 Marketing Consulting Services, 541430 Graphic Design Services, 541810 Advertising Agencies, 315210 Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors.
- 05 · Deliver, invoice, report. Work is invoiced under a single vendor record, so the spend lands somewhere your diversity reporting can see it, on whatever quarterly or annual cycle your program runs.
What belongs in the scope
Five categories can sit on one purchase order under one vendor record. That is the practical argument for a single certified supplier: the diversity spend is not split across five vendors, and neither is the accountability.
- Brand and design systems, built on a Design DNA created once per client and never templated. No two clients share one.
- Websites, ecommerce and software, Shopify and fully custom, carried from design through deployment by the same team that designed them.
- AI operating systems, built on AsBuilt, the studio’s own system, running pipeline, communications and reporting after launch.
- Apparel, uniforms and branded merchandise, cut-and-sew, screen print, embroidery and DTG, produced and fulfilled to specification under NAICS 315210.
- Public-sector and government contracting support, capability statements, proposal development and capture management, with the full capability statement published.

Questions procurement teams ask
- What is an MBE, and is Great Breads Studio one?
- A Minority Business Enterprise is a for-profit business at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by one or more minority group members who are U.S. citizens. Great Breads Studio is an NMSDC Certified MBE, minority-owned and Black-owned, operating as Great Breads Clothing, LLC d/b/a Great Breads Studio, a single-member LLC headquartered at 2031 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd, Suite 2A, New York, NY 10027.
- Can our company count this spend toward supplier-diversity goals?
- Spend with an NMSDC Certified MBE is what corporate diversity programs are built to count. Whether a particular contract qualifies is a question for your program’s own reporting rules, not for a supplier to answer on a web page. What the studio provides is the certificate, the certification number, and the vendor record clean enough that the spend is traceable.
- Will you work as a Tier 2 subcontractor under our agency or prime?
- Yes. The studio contracts directly (Tier 1) or under an agency of record, systems integrator, general contractor or other prime already holding the master agreement (Tier 2). Say which structure you need at the outset; it changes the contract documents and the reporting path, not the scope.
- What documents do you provide for supplier onboarding?
- W-9, certificate of insurance, NMSDC certificate and certificate number, banking and remittance details, and references, provided directly to procurement on request. The one-page capability statement and the six-page studio brochure are downloadable from this page without asking anyone.
- Which NAICS codes should we register you under?
- 541511 Custom Computer Programming Services, 541613 Marketing Consulting Services, 541430 Graphic Design Services, 541810 Advertising Agencies, and 315210 Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors. Pick the one that matches the work being bought rather than the one that matches the company; a brand system and a uniform program are not the same purchase.
- Are you registered for federal and public-sector work?
- Yes. SAM.gov registered and active, UEI J2JXA434NS13, CAGE 1Z8P1, DUNS 11-895-2722, and registered as a vendor with the New York State Comptroller. NMSDC certified MBE. NYC M/WBE applied, October 2026. NYS MWBE not yet filed.
- Is there a minimum engagement size?
- There is no minimum for branded merchandise or production runs. Platform engagements run on one published ladder, from a free 20-minute read to a Build paid per milestone as each goes live, published openly on AsBuilt’s pricing page rather than quoted on request.
- How quickly can you be onboarded and start?
- Documents go out the same business day they are requested, and inquiries through this page are answered within one business day. How fast the vendor record itself opens is a function of your procurement system, not this studio’s, so no promise is made about it here.
