USA’s coveted Supplier of the Year awards were presented at the recent Executive Summit to recognize the “best of the best” for 2017 performance. Supplier of the Year voting is a cross-functional effort conducted among key stakeholders across the Fleet based on pre-determined criteria such as savings, technical support, work performance and continuous improvement. To be eligible, a USA Supplier-Partner must achieve a pre-determined level of savings and be utilized by at least 50% of USA members. Competition is always stiff.

In keeping with our conference theme, “Using Technology to Improve Efficiency and Reduce Costs” a Technology category was added this year to our traditional awards in the areas of materials and services. We asked our Supplier Partners to submit short white papers showing how they utilized technology to improve efficiency and reduce costs, and we provided four general areas they should address as well as add any others they deemed important. The entries were evaluated and ranked by our Site Representative Team to identify a winner.

USA is proud to recognize 2017 Suppliers of the Year Paragon Energy Solutions (Materials) UniTech Services Group (Services) and Fastenal (Technology). “We are extremely fortunate to have an outstanding group of Supplier-Partners,” said Jim Kitchens, Director of Economic Strategies, “and our 2017 award winners represent their peers well and are very worthy recipients of their awards.”
