As part of our ongoing efforts to simplify and strengthen the OCP Solution Provider Program, we will be evolving how product recognition is represented across the OCP Community.
Over the coming weeks, we will transition to a single product recognition designation: OCP Accepted™. As part of this change, the OCP Inspired™ logo and certification mark will be retired, and its existing requirements will be incorporated into the updated OCP Accepted™ framework.
Why are we making this change?
The OCP Solution Provider Program plays a vital role in enabling members to position their products for the growing OCP market opportunity. As the ecosystem has expanded, we’ve heard consistent feedback that the distinction between product recognition designations can be unclear.
This evolution is designed to:
• Streamline the product recognition process
• Reduce confusion between designations
• Provide a clearer, more unified signal of alignment with OCP principles

What’s Changing?
To address this feedback, we are sunsetting the OCP Inspired™ logo and strengthening the OCP Accepted™ designation as the single, unified recognition within the program.
Under the updated framework, products recognized as OCP Accepted™ must demonstrate alignment with approved OCP Contributions, adhere to key OCP Tenets, and successfully complete the OCP review and certification process.
The updated OCP Accepted™ framework will continue to require formal review, supporting documentation, and validation to ensure products meet OCP’s standards for quality, openness, and impact.
Solo Logo Moving Forward:
The OCP Accepted™ logo will be distributed to existing Solution Providers for use alongside their OCP-recognized products and will be reflected in the OCP Marketplace in the second quarter.
Solution Providers may continue using the OCP Inspired™ logo through July 31, 2026, after which it will be formally retired.
We Want Your Feedback
We are committed to making this transition thoughtfully and collaboratively. A 30-day feedback period begins today, during which we welcome input from the OCP Community.

We value your partnership and look forward to continuing to build the OCP ecosystem together.
