THE NOBLE CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT
NOBLE strives to make a difference for our customers, our employees, our community, and our country. NOBLE adheres to the highest legal and ethical standards in our business. NOBLE management believes that a company’s reputation for integrity is its most valuable asset.
A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
NOBLE started out as a family business. As we’ve grown, we’ve expanded our team and the definition of family; every day we strive to retain our spirit of supporting each other, going the extra mile for our customers, and developing better approaches to getting the job done. Vital to that spirit is NOBLE's dedication to strong business ethics.
Our Code of Business Ethics demands the high level of ethical standards and personal integrity that is reflected in everything we do. At the same time, we expect our employees to exercise good judgment and maintain high ethical standards in activities that affect the company. Each of us is held to these standards.
At any time, you may address any questions, concerns, or issues directly to your supervisor or a member of the management team. NOBLE is committed to maintaining a safe, comfortable, and ethical environment for each of our employees.
Sincerely,
Tom Noble, CEO

Commitment to Customers
NOBLE supports and supplies the DoD and Federal Government agencies. Our contracts with the U.S. Federal Government give us the opportunity to distribute trusted, brand name items to military and civilian government customers. NOBLE's mission is to be our customers’ trusted source for all mission-critical supply and logistic support.
Commitment to Suppliers
Our suppliers are the backbone of NOBLE's supply chain. NOBLE offers support for small businesses including many small business concerns; veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran owned, HUBZone, small disadvantaged and women-owned small business concerns to participate in the bidding process for government RFQs.
Using NOBLE's BRAVO portal, suppliers can view and bid on thousands of government RFQs. BRAVO contains the materials requirements for DoD bidding opportunities. The system creates a larger, more competitive number of bids than the traditional 3-bid system, adding value for DoD customers.
Suppliers can sign up here for BRAVO to begin receiving government opportunities.
