Blackmer Earns Excellence Bronze Award from DSCC

The award goes to DSCC suppliers that meet the tenets of the DSCC’s Automatic Best-Value System. The computerized system evaluates product value, shipping efficiency, delivery time, payment systems and a supplier’s compliance with the DSCC’s wide-area work-flow system, which tracks sales and payments for equipment according to standards established by government inspectors.

The award was presented on Aug. 18, 2009, to Steve Wall, Blackmer’s Military & Marine Sales/Application Engineer, during the DSCC’s 2009 Land and Maritime Supply Chain Business Conference and Exhibition at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Only 83 companies, of the more than 5,000 with which the DSCC does business, received a Recognition for Excellence award. Blackmer also received a Recognition for Excellence award in 2003.

“Blackmer is honored to receive the Recognition for Excellence Bronze Award from the Defense Supply Center in Columbus. This award reflects our commitment to providing outstanding customer service and exceptional value to our customers. Blackmer received this award in 2003 and we are very happy to again be honored for our service in 2008,” said Wall.

The DSCC is known to more than 24,000 military and civilian customers and 10,000 contractors as one of the largest suppliers of weapon systems spare parts in the United States. Formally a wholesaler, the DSCC has transformed into an end-to-end supply-chain manager that connects business processes from the supplier to the customer through the Land and Maritime Supply Chains.

The DSCC is a link in the supply/demand chain in the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Ft. Belvoir, VA. The DLA is in charge of supplying the nation’s military services and several civilian agencies with the critical resources they need to accomplish their worldwide missions, both in peacetime and wartime. Created in 1961, the DLA supplies almost every consumable item the U.S.’s military services need to operate.

Since 1914, Blackmer has been a proud supplier to the U.S. Military and for the past 50-plus years has provided mission-critical flow solutions for the U.S. Navy. Recognized as one of the true industry specialists, today Blackmer is the standard for ship service worldwide, and is a key strategic supplier not only to the U.S. Military, but also to NATO Military and other Foreign Military Sales.
