INTRODUCTION
Orlando will be the site of the 61st NBA All-Star Game. The NBA has
established an NBA All-Star Vendor Diversity Program to engage local
woman- and minority-owned businesses (WBEs and MBEs) in the NBA All-
Star procurement process. WBEs and MBEs interested in participating in
the Vendor Diversity Program can find more information about the program
on our website: www.nba.com/allstarvendordiversity. In addition, interested
businesses may apply through our website by selecting the application page.
All completed applications will receive a response at the close of the
application process. The application period is from May 15 through
September 1, 2011.
Approved applicants will be listed in the Vendor Guide which will be
available on our website in September 2011. The website is the central
location for NBA staff and primary vendors to search for local products and
services needed for NBA All-Star. Once approved and listed in the Vendor
Guide, participants will be notified about bid opportunities for which they may
be qualified as they become available.
