7.1.2 Vendor Performance Record & Approved Vendor List (AVL)
Vendor performance is evaluated per 04QA704077. A Vendor Performance Record
(VPR) shall be maintained. The record shall be used to document the receipts of
goods or services of vendors contained on the AVL (08QA080002). A review of
these records shall be conducted periodically and a determination made to either keep
or delete each vendor from the Approved Vendors List. A review may be conducted
on any particular vendor at any time deemed necessary by the Quality Assurance
Manager. Reviews shall be conducted in accordance with Quality Assurance
Procedure 04QA704044.
7.2 Purchasing Method
Purchased items with special requirements such as Shelf Life, Special Processing, or
Material Certifications where traceability to those requirements is essential shall be
purchased as “Controlled.” See Paragraph 4, “Procurement Document Control”, of
this section of the manual.
Standard items that can be verified by inspection to engineering documents may be
transferred to Controlled items. When those commercially purchased items are to be
used for Controlled production they shall be re-evaluated to controlled stock by being
submitted to inspection and re-inspected in accordance with Quality Assurance
Procedures 04QA704001 or 04QA704026.
Non-Conforming items shall be handled in accordance with paragraph 15, “Non-
Conforming Items”, of this section of the manual.

boundary/wetted surfaces or surfaces exposed to the process media. The Receiving

required information is listed on the CMTR. When material to be used on wetted
surfaces, etc. can only be purchased with "typical" test reports or a certificate of
conformance, an independent chemical analysis shall be performed to verify
compliance to the stated specification. Quality Assurance Procedure 04QA704032
gives more detail on the process used for Testing Wetted Surface/or Pressure
Boundary Materials.
When a Purchase Order requests a Certificate of Conformance/Compliance, the
certificate shall be reviewed to assure that all information required by the Purchase
Order and applicable Engineering Drawing has been met. The Receiving Inspection
