MarAd Cancels Qualified

Bidders' List Program

The Maritime Administration has decided to drop the qualified bid- ders' list (QBL) pilot program for shipyards bidding to repair vessels in the Ready Reserve Force (RRF).

According to DOT Secretary

Federico Pena, MarAd found that the QBL program did not produce the anticipated improvements in repair-work quality, was not as cost effective as MarAd had projected and did not gain industry support to the degree that MarAd had expected.

Another reason Secretary Pena cited for the elimination of QBL pro- grams was the requirement by the

General Accounting Office that

MarAd refer cases where yards were determined not to meet the QBL standards to the Small Business

Administration (SBA) for certificates of competency. The SBA would then have about three weeks to decide a case, and no limits were placed on the number of appeals that could ensue. > > > > SURPLUS < < < <
