The NBA All-Star Game will take place on Sunday, February 26, 2012 at the Amway Center in Orlando. The NBA’s All-Star Vendor Diversity Program has been providing opportunities to Woman and Minority owned vendors to participate in the All-Star procurement process for over a decade. The Vendor Program is the primary resource for All-Star related procurement. Working in partnership with city agencies, local certifying organizations and business advocacy groups the NBA will identify certified woman and minority-owned businesses in the area. The application process will open on April 26, 2011.

Woman and minority-owned businesses in the local area are encouraged to visit our web-page at: www.nba.com/allstarvendordiversity. The web page provides faq’s and additional information on the program’s goals and initiatives. On the web-page vendors interested in participating in NBA All-Star related procurement can complete and submit an on-line application. All vendors that submit an application will receive a response after the close of the application process on September 1, 2011. No applications will be accepted after this date.

At the completion of the application process all approved vendors will be included in the on-line Vendor Resource Guide.
