Supplier Risk Performance System (SPRS) DLA is one of many agencies using the DoD Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). It is imperative that vendors validate their performance data in SPRS. Vendors must register at the website https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/ for access to view their past performance scores and negative delivery and quality records affecting the scores. The SPRS User's Manual provides information concerning vendor scoring, negative & positive performance data utilized to calculate vendor scores, and the process in which to challenge discrepant performance data. The SPRS site has a number of user manuals found at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/reference.htm. DLA is just a member of SPRS, not the owner of the system, so if you have any access issues please contact the SPRS Customer Support Desk: Phone: 207-438-1690 or email: webptsmh@navy.mil.
