GSA Form 1904: Quality Evaluation

GSA Form 1904, Quality Evaluation, is a one-page checklist about a supplier. The footer reads GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION and GSA FORM 1904 (REV 3-86), and GSA hosts it in its forms library. GSA's page lists a current revision date of 03/1986 and no authority or regulation.

The form records the supplier, the company officials contacted, any prime contractor, the commodities, NSN(s) and specification numbers, and how many years the plant has been doing business with GSA and with other government agencies. Items 6 to 44 are yes or no questions grouped under purchasing, manufacturing, general condition of plant, warehouse and shipping, quality control, engineering and control of government documents. It ends with a summary quality evaluation and signature blocks for a QSA and an SQAS.

The form prints no instructions, no OMB number and no privacy statement, and it does not spell out QSA or SQAS. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
