Question & AnswerQ&A (NPC CIRCULAR NO. 99-001)
The SOP aims to lay down policies and procedures that guide applicants and Committee members in filing, processing applications, and granting or cancelling the Certificate of Accreditation to ensure only legitimate and capable suppliers transact with the PNP.
The Committee is composed of the Chairman (Director, DRD), Vice-Chairman (Deputy DRD), Executive Officer DRD, Chief WTC Division, Chief CCED Division, and Chief of Plans and Programs as Secretary.
It is a written document issued by the PNP through the Committee to qualified applicants authorizing them to transact business with the PNP, valid for one year from issuance.
The process assesses the applicant's real business worthiness, evaluating previous performance, financial and technical capabilities, and other relevant criteria.
Grounds include blacklisting by any government agency, non-compliance with SOPs and PNP procurement policies, failure to fulfill contract obligations, delivery of out-of-spec products, and falsification of documents.
An applicant must submit a letter-request addressed to the Chairman of the Committee, an accomplished application form, an information sheet, and all required supporting documents as per the checklist.
The Inspection Team conducts a physical inspection to verify the authenticity of the applicant's claims regarding their products or expertise and examines financial, technical, and production capabilities.
No, only products or services that are officially accredited and included in the Certificate can be offered to the PNP for procurement.
Supplies include everything except real estate needed in public transactions or projects, covering equipment, furniture, stationery, construction materials, personal property, and related services like repair, trucking, janitorial, and security.
The Certificate is valid for one year from the date of issue, and renewal should be applied for about one month before expiration to ensure continuous accreditation.
