Defense Supply Center honors DNE as one of the
government's best suppliers
Wallingford, CT (USA) - DNE Technologies, a provider
of voice and data communication solutions, was recently honored
by the Defense Supply Center in Richmond, VA as one of the government's
best suppliers at an Automated Best Value System award ceremony,
held during the center's annual business conference in June.
DNE Technologies was awarded a bronze medal from the commander of
the supply center, Air Force Brig. Gen. James P. Totsch. DNE Technologies
supplies multiplexers, protocol converters, and multi-service access
communication equipment to the Department of Defense and other government
agencies.
"This award is a testament to DNE's commitment to providing
a quality product in a timely manner to our customers," commented
DNE President and CEO William Gill. He added, "Given the crucial
nature of the applications of many of our products, we recognize
our customers need a reliable, tested product and DNE is proud to
provide it."
Firms that qualify as Automated Best Value System Medalists have
met stringent quality and delivery requirements established by the
Defense Logistics Agency. A computerized system, the Automated Best
Value collects a vendor's past performance data and translates
it into a numeric score, ranging from zero to a perfect 100.
To be eligible, vendors must have shipped 10 or more contract lines
for Defense Supply Center Richmond during a twelve-month rating
period. To qualify for a gold medal, the contractor must have had
a perfect score of 100. A score of 99.0 through 99.9 earned a silver;
and those vendors with scores ranging from 98.0 to 98.9 were awarded
bronze medals.
The supply center, located in Richmond, VA, purchases nearly 900,000
items used by the military and other government agencies. These
items include a mix of military-unique and commercially available
items supporting over 1,300 major weapons systems. The value of
the products and services it provides to its customers is expected
to top the $3 billion mark this fiscal year.
DNE Technologies is a manufacturer of military communication products,
such as multiplexers, protocol converters, multi-service access
concentrators, and service extenders. It has been providing communication
products to the government since 1951.
