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

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by US diverse-supplier certification registries or any government body. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "US diverse-supplier certification registries" is referenced only to describe the public data source this Actor collects from.

Extract certified diverse-supplier leads from official state and city supplier-diversity directories: the minority-owned (MBE), women-owned (WBE), disadvantaged (DBE), small (SBE), veteran-owned, service-disabled-veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned and disability-owned businesses that prime contractors, corporations and agencies are asked to buy from. Every record carries the business and trade name, the contact person, phone, e-mail, website and address where the program publishes them, normalized certification codes plus the program's own labels, the certifying agency, certification and expiry dates, industry codes, and a status that tells you whether the program confirms the certification is current.

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

Why this diverse-supplier scraper?

Supplier-diversity data is scattered across incompatible state and city portals, each with its own schema, codes and update habits. Some lists are refreshed daily; others were last published years ago. This actor unifies them into one dataset with one certification taxonomy, and it tells you how current each record is instead of presenting a ten-year-old list as today's.

Use cases

• Supplier-diversity sourcing and Tier-2 reporting: find certified MBE, WBE, DBE and veteran-owned suppliers by industry (NAICS) and location.
• Prime-contractor DBE participation: build a bench of certified subcontractors for DOT and municipal contracts; status shows which certifications the program confirms as current.
• B2B lead generation: certified small businesses buy lending, insurance, bonding, accounting, marketing and software; reach them through the contact details the program publishes.
• Re-certification and renewal outreach: expiringWithinDays finds certifications that expire soon.
• New-certification monitoring: schedule runs to capture firms the moment a program adds or renews them.
• Market research: analyze the certified-supplier landscape by certification, ownership, industry and geography.

The dataset has four table views: Diverse supplier leads, Contacts, Certifications & classification and Ownership & location (owner ethnicity and gender, address, website).

Monitoring: only new or renewed suppliers

Turn on monitorMode to keep a record of the current list in a named key-value store. The first run records the whole list as the baseline and returns up to Max results of it (monitorEvent: "initial"). From then on, each run returns only suppliers that are new to the list ("new") or renewed with a later expiry ("renewed") since the previous run; anything the cap held back is returned on the next run, never twice.

Monitoring works with Apify Schedules: the schedule decides when the run starts, monitoring decides what is new. Use a distinct monitorKey per saved watch so different monitors don't share state.

Good to know

• "Active certifications only" means confirmed. A record is active: true only when the program confirms it: an expiry date in the future, or a listing in a directory the program still refreshes. Archive lists that publish no expiry date (NY State DBE, New Orleans, the NYC veteran directory), the Austin fiscal-year roster (which also lists firms whose term ended) and expired certifications are left out by default; turn the option off to include them. Each record then says active: false (expired) or null (not confirmable), with a statusNote and the list's dataAsOf date.
• Programs publish different fields. NYC SBS publishes no e-mail addresses; Norfolk and Cincinnati publish no contact person, phone or e-mail; New Orleans publishes no city or ZIP code. A filter on a field a program does not publish leaves that program out, and the run's message says so.
• NYC's "newest first" is real date order. NYC publishes its renewal dates as text, so the actor reads them year by year and sorts by the actual date. Programs without any date are listed alphabetically.
• Certification labels are normalized but never lost. New Jersey's LBE is its LGBTQ+ certification and maps to LGBTBE; Delaware's IWDBE is disability-owned and maps to DOBE. DBE covers the federal DBE program and state or local disadvantaged programs (New Orleans SLDBE, New Jersey SEDB); certificationsRaw always keeps each program's own label.
• One record per firm per program. Cincinnati lists a firm once per certification and Delaware lists Small Business Focus firms separately; both are merged into one record per firm.
• Reuse terms differ by publisher. The City of New Orleans, for example, publishes its DBE directory on condition that it is not used for unsolicited advertising or spam.

• Schedules - run daily or weekly to monitor newly-certified firms or renewals.
• Webhooks - trigger a CRM import, Slack alert or e-mail 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'],
    maxResults: 1000,
});

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

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, with no account and no API key.
• Skyfire: agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Tips

• Widest current coverage: leave states and certificationTypes empty and keep "Active certifications only" on; the run balances records across programs.
• By industry: use naicsCodes prefixes, 23 (construction), 54 (professional services), 48 (transportation), 31–33 (manufacturing), or keyword for programs that publish NIGP or free-text industries.
• Renewal campaigns: expiringWithinDays (for example 90) works on NYC SBS, Norfolk and Cook County, the programs that publish expiry dates.
• Archive lists: turn off "Active certifications only" to include the NY State DBE, New Orleans, NYC veteran, Austin and Cook County lists, and check each record's dataAsOf and statusNote.
• Cost control: each record is charged once; use filters and maxResults to keep runs lean.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From official government open-data portals (Socrata) run by state agencies and city procurement and supplier-diversity offices. Each record links to its source dataset (sourceUrl).

How current is it? Every record carries dataAsOf, the date the program last updated its list. Several programs refresh daily; some lists are archives that a program stopped updating years ago. status and active say whether the program confirms the certification is current.

What's the difference between this and SBA's small-business search? This actor focuses on state and city certification programs (MBE/WBE/DBE/SWaM/SBE/veteran). 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 taxonomy (certifications) while keeping the original labels (certificationsRaw) and the full source row (sourceFields).

A field is empty. Why? Programs publish different fields; the field table above shows which program publishes what. A value is empty when the program does not publish it, and sourceFields keeps everything the program did publish.

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

How do I get only new certifications automatically? Turn on monitorMode and create a Schedule; after the first (baseline) run, only firms that are new or renewed since the previous run are returned.

Data & lawful use

The source is an official public register, published so that anyone can consult it. Records can name individuals (business owners and primary contacts named in the certification directories), so the output may contain personal data even though it is public. If you are in the EU or UK you are the data controller for what you do with it: have a lawful basis, honour access and deletion requests, and respect the register's own reuse conditions, which can restrict marketing or commercial use.

Under Apify's Standard Actor Contract, which governs your use of this Actor, you are the controller of any personal data in your input and output and scrapesage acts only as your processor: that data is processed solely to run your job, written only to your own Apify storage, never used for any other purpose and never shared onward.
