US Diverse Supplier Leads Scraper — MBE, WBE, DBE, SBE & Veteran-Owned Certified Businesses

Extract certified diverse-supplier leads from official state & city supplier-diversity directories — the businesses that prime contractors, corporations and government agencies are required to find and buy from. Every record is a certified MBE (minority-owned), WBE (women-owned), DBE (disadvantaged), SBE (small), Veteran-Owned or Service-Disabled-Veteran-Owned business, with the contact data you actually need: business name, contact person, phone, email, website, full address, NAICS/NIGP industry codes, certification type, certifying agency, and certification/expiry dates — plus a 0–100 lead score.

No login, no API key, no browser — fast, keyless JSON extraction straight from government open-data portals.

Why this diverse-supplier scraper?

Supplier-diversity data is scattered across dozens of incompatible state and city portals, each with a different schema, different certification codes, and different field names. This actor unifies them into one clean, normalized dataset with a single certification taxonomy — and ships the richest record in the category.

Monitoring — only new suppliers

Turn on monitorMode to remember which suppliers were already returned (in a named key-value store) and emit only firms that are new since the last run — each tagged monitorEvent: "new". A re-certification (new expiration/renewal date) also surfaces as new, so you catch renewals too.

This is orthogonal to Apify Schedules: the schedule decides when the run starts; monitoring decides what's new. Combine them — e.g. run daily and only newly-certified MBE/WBE construction firms land in your dataset — perfect for a fresh-lead pipeline. Use a distinct monitorKey per saved watch so different monitors don't share state.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run hourly/daily/weekly to monitor newly-certified firms or renewals.
• Webhooks — trigger CRM import, Slack alert or email sequence the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/us-diverse-supplier-leads-scraper').call({
    states: ['NY', 'NJ', 'DE'],
    certificationTypes: ['MBE', 'WBE'],
    naicsCodes: ['23'],
    withEmailOnly: true,
    maxResults: 1000,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} certified diverse-supplier leads`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new supplier leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored search finds newly-certified firms.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find certified women-owned construction firms in New Jersey with an email" and let it run this scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Tips

• Maximum coverage: leave states and certificationTypes empty to pull every program and every certification category, then filter the dataset downstream.
• By industry: use naicsCodes prefixes — 23 (construction), 54 (professional services), 48 (transportation), 31–33 (manufacturing).
• Renewal campaigns: set expiringWithinDays (e.g. 90) on programs that publish expiry dates (Norfolk, Chicago) for re-certification outreach.
• Cost control: each record is charged once; use filters and maxResults to keep runs lean.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? Exclusively from official government open-data portals (Socrata) run by state agencies and city procurement/supplier-diversity offices. No scraping of login-walled or paid databases.

What's the difference between this and SBA's small-business search? This actor focuses on state & city certification programs (MBE/WBE/DBE/SWaM/SBE/Veteran), which are separate from federal SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB). For federal entity registration use the SAM.gov Scraper.

Are the certification codes standardized? Yes. Each program uses its own labels; this actor maps them to one normalized taxonomy (certifications) while preserving the original labels (certificationsRaw) and the full source row (sourceFields).

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

How do I get only new certifications automatically? Turn on monitorMode and create a Schedule; only firms new (or re-certified) since the last run are emitted.

A field is null — why? Programs publish different fields. A value is null only when that program doesn't publish it (e.g. New Orleans lists no email-less firms but no website for some), never because the scraper skipped it. The full original row is in sourceFields.

Is this legal? This actor collects publicly available government open data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA where personal data applies) and each portal's terms.
