New Mexico 9000

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established a recognized set of management quality standards that are required by over 150 countries, most major companies, and federal agencies from suppliers, vendors, and contractors. New Mexico 9000 is the state’s training program that makes the ISO certification process easier and cheaper than if a company were to pursue it on their own.  It allows businesses of all sizes to obtain ISO 9001 certification, which is critical to winning many types of contracts.
