Defense Logistics Agency Vendor Rating System

Abstract

The Defense Logistics Agency Vendor Rating System (DVRS) is a tool to enhance the DLA buyers's ability to make a "best-value" contracting decision. Because efforts to quantify past performance are labor and data intensive, an automated, standardized method was needed to measure a contractor's historical performance. DVRS is mainly an automated system that collects historical data from numerous sources, consolidates the raw data, and performs an analysis to produce ratings in a systematic approach. These ratings are passed into the DLA Pre-Award Contracting System to be shown along with bid prices to assist in the bid evaluation process. DVRS is a composite rating that measures a vendor's quality assurance program and on-time delivery effectiveness over a 2-year period. Under this project a prototype model was developed for use at the Defense General Supply Center.
