Michael Damiani and Stephanie Kotsios accepted the gold medal from Lieutenant General Robert T. Dail and the commander of the supply center, Navy Rear Admiral Mark F. Heinrich.

The firm supplies synthetic lubricants and high performance functional fluids to the Department of Defense and other government agencies.

“We feel privileged to accept this award from DSCR. Radco’s commitment to manufacturing quality products supports our military by allowing our troops to focus on the important missions they face,” said Stephanie Kotsios.

Firms that qualify as Automated Best Value System medalist have met stringent quality and delivery requirements established by the Defense Logistics Agency. The Automated Best value computerized system collects a vendor’s past performance data and translates it into a numeric score, ranging from zero to 100.

To be eligible, vendors must have shipped 10 or more contract lines for DSCR during a 12-month rating period. To qualify for a gold medal, a contractor must have a score of 100. Those who receive a score of 99.0 to 99.9 receive a silver award. Vendors with scores ranging from 98.0 to 98.9 earn a bronze medal. In addition, vendors must have a DLA rating of 95 or better.

In October 2004, DSCR became the Defense Logistic Agency’s aviation supply and demand chain manager. With this expanded responsibility, DSCR serves within the Department of Defense supply-chain as the primary source of supply for more than 1.2 million repair parts and operating supply items, with a core mission of supplying product with direct application to aviation. These items include a mix of military-unique items supporting over 1,300 major weapons systems and other items readily available in the commercial market. DSCR’s primary customers are the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. The center also supports other government agencies, such as the U.S. Postal Service, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S. Forestry Service and Department of Transportation.

In 2006, DSCR had more than $3.4 billion I sales and provides the best value logistics and contract management support to American’s armed forces in peace and war—around the clock, around the world.
