Firms that qualify as Best Value System Medallists have met stringent quality and delivery requirements established by the Defense Logistics Agency. The Best Value system collects a vendor's past performance data and translates it into a numeric score, ranging from zero to 100.
To be eligible, vendors must have shipped 10 or more contract lines for DSCR during a 12-month rating period. To qualify for a Gold medal, a contractor must have a score of 100. Those who receive a score of 99.0 to 99.9 earn a silver award. Vendors with scores ranging from 98.0 to 98.9 earn a bronze medal. In addition, vendors must have a DLA rating of 95 or better.
