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.

After a complete review of your application, and if the documentation is in order, the Asian Chamber will contact you for a site visit appointment. Site visit is critical to ensure that at least 51% of the business is owned, controlled, and operated by Asian American(s) and/or other minority(ies). Our corporate and/or other purchasing members must be confident that they will be contracting with minority suppliers pursuant to their supplier diversity program.
If you pass the documentation review and site visit interview, your business will be certified by the USPAACC as one that is owned, controlled, and operated by Asian American(s) and/or other minority(ies). If the application is not certified, the applicant could file an appeal with USPAACC within 60 days. USPAACC will review from the beginning and make a final decision and notify the applicant. Please note the review process can take 2-3 months to complete. If you wish to expedite the review process, please contact the Asian Chamber before applying.
Your certification is valid for one year. The expiration date will be on the upper right corner on your Certificate. Please contact the Asian Chamber of Kansas City for renewal before it expires.
