73 Quality Management Excellence Companies' Products Designated as 'Quality Assurance Procurement Items' and Benefits Provided

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Public Procurement Service announced on the 12th that it has designated 73 items from 29 small and medium-sized enterprises as the '1st Quality Assurance Procurement Products' of this year.

The newly designated product list includes desktop computers, bookshelves, metal windows, and light-emitting diode (LED) security lighting fixtures.

Quality Assurance Procurement Products is a system that evaluates the quality management capabilities of procurement companies and provides benefits such as exemption from delivery inspections for a certain period to excellent companies.

For example, designated companies can be exempted from delivery inspections for up to 5 years and receive benefits such as technical and quality bonus points (up to 2 points) during the excellent procurement product evaluation, and a credibility bonus of 0.75 points in the Public Procurement Service's product purchase qualification review.

So far, 374 products from 120 companies have been designated under this system.

Kim Dae-su, Director of the Procurement Quality Institute, said, “Being designated as a Quality Assurance Procurement Product reduces inspection costs for companies and secures quality reliability, which positively affects sales. The Public Procurement Service will actively support excellent small and medium-sized enterprises that focus on quality management to grow in the procurement market using this system as a stepping stone.”
