The purpose of the BRCP is to formalize the contracting officer's authority to exercise business judgement in awarding replenishment spares acquisition contracts that have historically been awarded based on price only. Under the program, the contracting officer will consider not only price but also part quality and delivery performance in arriving at an award decision. The program recognizes that among responsible contractors varying degrees of quality and delivery performance exist. Therefore an award under this program may be made to other than the low priced offeror. Based on demonstrated dependable quality and delivery performance, the contracting officer may award to an offeror who qualifies as a Blue Ribbon Contractor at a price up to 10 percent higher than the low offeror or up to 20 percent higher if approved by the Buying Office Contracting Official (BOCO). Criteria for membership in the BRCP are as follows: 1. Completion of three or more contract line items, not subline items, on SA-ALC contracts with a combined value of $50,000 or more in the FSC during the previous 36 months. 2. A minimum on-time delivery rate of 90% on SA-ALC contract line items in the FSC for the previous 12 months. The on-time delivery rate calculation is the total number of line items delivered during the 12 month period minus the number of delinquent line items chargeable to the contractor divided by the total number of line items delivered times 100. 3. A minimum quality rate of 99 percent on SA-ALC contract line items in the FSC during the previous 12 months. The quality rate calculation is the number of units delivered on SA-ALC contract line items in the FSC minus the number of Quality Deficiency Reports (QDR's) closed out as contractor workmanship defects divided by the total number of units delivered times 100. 4. No known in-plant quality system problems, i.e. unresolved method C, D, or E corrective actions letters. 5. No other negative information regarding overall performance or current status e.g: An overall delivery performance rate less than 85% on-time, defective or delinquent data deliveries, negative financial status, active criminal investigation or indictment, or warranty deficiency actions. Membership on a Blue Ribbon Contractor List (BRCL) is by application only. Any contractor that meets the criteria for membership is encouraged to apply. Specific information on how to apply should be requested from SA-ALC/PKC, Attn: Alice O. Montano, 485 Quentin Roosevelt, Suite 12, Kelly AFB TX 78241-6420, (210) 925-7761. SA-ALC will convene a panel to review applications. The panel will use internal government data to validate the information contained in the application. Those contractors meeting or exceeding the criteria will be placed on the appropriate FSC Blue Ribbon Contractor List. Contractors failing to meet the criteria will be so notified.
