Sarnoff Awarded 2006 Supplier Excellence Gold Award by the Defense Supply Center Columbus

September 25, 2006

Sarnoff Corporation today announced that the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) has awarded Sarnoff’s Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program the 2006 Supplier Excellence Gold Award.

The award recognizes contractors who maintain the highest performance standards, including manufacturing 50 or more delivery line items over a 12-month period of time, 100 percent on-time delivery performance and no packaging, quality or marking deficiencies. Additionally, the award recognizes exceptional business ethics and integrity among other factors.

“The award speaks to the trust that DSCC has placed in Sarnoff’s ability to deliver on-time, cost-effective products that adhere to the most demanding safety and performance requirements,” said Jim Hengle, Sarnoff’s managing director of Emulation Products and Technology.

For nearly 20 years, the Emulation Products and Technology division of Sarnoff has operated under the GEM program, developed in partnership with Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and DSCC as a supply solution for microcircuits in the Diminishing Manufacturer Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) market.

Sarnoff designs and manufactures GEM parts in its onsite DSCC Qualified Manufacturers Listing (QML) certified semiconductor foundry, allowing Sarnoff to support requirements through the system lifecycles. From initial production requirements through end-of-life sustainment needs, Sarnoff provides long-term availability and a continuing source of supply long after other sources have exhausted their inventories or discontinued manufacture.
