Through the program, we pre-qualify manufacturers and/or distributors to supply certain items based on an assessment of the provider’s applied process controls. Applicants must demonstrate that the controls which they have in-place and in-use on a daily basis comply with the established QSL criteria, providing maximum assurance that the products procured conform to specification and contractual requirements.
