How to prepare for this fall’s Best in Blue Book 2026

July 7, 2026 – This fall, Blue Book will once again recognize the industry’s top-performing companies through Best in Blue Book—our semi-annual awards honoring the top 1 percent of qualifying businesses that demonstrate exceptional performance within the commodities they handle.

Now is the time to prepare.

To ensure your company is considered, take a few moments to review your Blue Book profile and confirm that it accurately reflects your business today:

• Verify your commodity lines to ensure they represent the products you actively buy, sell, and handle.
• Review and update your trading references so they reflect your primary business relationships.
• Complete Trade Experience Surveys when received—or pending surveys through the Notifications Center – the bell icon located in the upper-right corner of Blue Book Online Services (10) – Blue Book Services.

Best in Blue Book is earned through performance—not applications or nominations. Companies are evaluated using Blue Book’s most recent performance and listing data, making profile accuracy and active participation more important than ever.
