The DLA evaluated 153 of its suppliers as part of the SSIP. Forty suppliers were selected as superior suppliers, of which only 15 were identified in the highest tier as Gold suppliers. Suppliers were selected based on the following criteria: performance against current contracts with the DLA; ratings in the federal Contractor's Performance Reporting System (CPARS); and established partnerships with the DLA that focus on cost-saving initiatives.
"UTC Aerospace Systems is laser-focused on meeting our customers' requirements, so we are delighted that the Defense Logistics Agency sees us as a supplier performing at the highest levels," said Raffaele Virgili, vice president, UTC Aerospace Systems Customer Service. "We have put a tremendous amount of effort into building our relationship with the DLA, including dedicated, on-site support and delivering on our cost, quality and performance commitments. This recognition acknowledges those efforts and the great work and commitment of our employees."
