Steps
Fetch sima.org/getcsp to confirm CSP is SIMA's executive-level credential (6-module exam, 70% pass threshold, application + fee required)
Note CSP requires renewal every 2 years via a $250 fee plus 15 continuing-education credits
Check SIMA's public contractor/supplier directory at directory.sima.org for the individual or company listing
Ask the contractor for their CSP certification/renewal date and compare against the 2-year cycle
Do not accept a verbal or website claim of 'SIMA certified' as proof of an active, unlapsed credential
Known gotchas
SIMA company membership is not the same as an individual holding CSP — the credential belongs to a person, not the firm
CSP lapses without renewal; a certificate earned years ago may no longer be current
Directory listings are largely self-reported by member companies and may lag actual certification status
