In the early 1970s, NMSDC-affiliated councils were established in Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati and Cleveland by each business community. In 1999, it was determined that the communities each council operated in would be better served if the three individual councils merged to form the South Central Ohio Minority Business Council. After a couple of years, SCOMBC officially merged in February 2002.
In September of 2008, SCOMBC changed its name to the South Central Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council (SCOMSDC) to better align its identity to the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC).
In December 2013, the South Central Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council (SCOMSDC) and the Northern Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council (NOMSDC) merged to form the Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council (OMSDC).
