The selection process for 2015 USA Suppliers of the Year is now underway at each USA fleet member. Each year fleet members vote for the top USA suppliers in both the Materials and Services categories.

To make the ballot this year a supplier must have been used by at least half of our members and document at least 10% savings across the three categories of savings we track (First-Cost, TCO and Rebate). Competition is always very stiff. In addition to celebration at the USA Executive Summit in July, the first place winners are also recognized with a half page ad in Nuclear News.

Each USA member gets one vote based on a compilation of input from all internal stakeholders. An evaluation matrix is provided to the Supply Chain manager for each member and he/she is asked to solicit input from other groups, average the scores and then submit one vote for each category.

Final input will be due in late April. Please be sure to contact your USA Supply Chain representative at your station for more information.
