JLG Receives Government Supplier Award

June 15, 2005 — The Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) recently named JLG Industries, McConnellsburg, Pa., one of the government's best suppliers at an Automated Best Value System award ceremony held during the DSCR's annual business conference last week. JLG accepted the gold medal from the commander of the supply center, Navy Rear Adm. Mike Lyden.

"We are honored to have received this award recognizing JLG for excellence in on-time delivery and supply of replacement parts," says John Louderback, vice president of customer support services. "We continue to strive to bring value-added products and services to our customers, and this recognition means that we have satisfied a customer's need."

To qualify as Automated Best Value System medalists, companies have met stringent quality delivery requirements established by the Defense Logistics Agency. The Automated Best Value computerized system collects a vendor's past performance data and translates it into a numeric score, ranging from zero to 100. To be eligible, suppliers 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 and a Defense Logistics Agency rating of 95 or better. DSCR is the Defense Logistics Agency's aviation supply chain manager, whose customers are the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines. The center also supports other government agencies, such as the U.S. Postal Service, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S. Forestry Service, and Department of Transportation.
