Evaluated
Suppliers List (ESL)
-
Quality Assurance, acting in conjunction with
Procurement and Field Technical personnel, has the
responsibility to develop and maintain a list of current
suppliers who have been evaluated against nationally recognized
standards. This list is developed as needs for particular
procurement actions arise.
-
The Evaluated Supplier Listing (ESL) is a
directory of Suppliers who have been evaluated against various
nationally recognized programs and project selected standards (e.g., ASME NQA-1,
10CFR71), and have been deemed capable of meeting the associated
quality program requirements.
-
The Design Authority indicates the need for an
evaluated supplier on the Purchase Requisition. This requirement
is derived from the Quality Level, Safety Class and/or different
project requirements (e.g., specifications, regulatory guides,
codes, and standards).
-
Supplier quality program evaluation is one of
several criteria in the selection process. The suppliers quality
program and program implementation is evaluated based on the
quality program criteria identified by the Request For Pre-Award
Evaluation form. The supplier quality evaluation program
includes an evaluation of the suppliers written program, program
implementation, annual re-evaluation, and audits. The Suppliers
Quality Evaluation Program is maintained and operated by
Acquisition Verification Services (AVS). AVS notifies the
Requestor and the Contract Specialist of the results of the evaluation.
-
The Contract Specialist notifies the Supplier of the results of
the evaluation. If the results are acceptable the Supplier
is added to the ESL for the acceptable criteria. If the
results are unacceptable the Supplier is not added to the ESL.
-
The suppliers' status on the ESL is evaluated at
12 months intervals. Performance feedback is obtained from the
End User, Buyer, Quality Engineer, and other supplier contacts.
At the end of 36 months the supplier is scheduled for an audit.
