The manager of construction support and supply of National Iranian Oil Company explained: For each criterion, a score between zero and 100 is assigned, and this score will be multiplied by the weight coefficient of that criterion; then the total scores will determine the final qualification score and ranking of the manufacturer.
Facilitating the Entry of First-Time Product Manufacturers
Hashemi Golsefid continued: According to this guideline, after confirming the knowledge-based status of the company, the qualitative and technical evaluation score is calculated with a coefficient of 1.2, equivalent to 120 percent. This coefficient can increase to 1.5, equivalent to 150 percent, for companies located in science and technology parks and special economic zones to facilitate the entry of knowledge-based companies into the long list of resources of the central unit of the Ministry of Oil.
He pointed out the scope of this guideline, stating: Knowledge-based companies that manufacture specialized products for the oil industry at innovative and technological levels, which are approved by the Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy, are subject to this mechanism.
The manager of construction support and supply of National Iranian Oil Company regarding the entry of first-time product manufacturers into the supply chain said: The commodity needs related to these products will be communicated through various methods, and after signing the contract, producing and delivering the product, and its approval by the final operator, the knowledge-based company will be registered in the long list of supply resources and will receive a qualification certificate for the production of that product.
Hashemi Golsefid emphasized: By going through these steps and obtaining product approval from the final operator, the knowledge-based company will enter the supply chain of National Iranian Oil Company for the production of that product.
He continued: Maximizing the use of legal capacities, especially the Knowledge-Based Production Leap Law, can play an effective role in technology development and strengthening the capabilities of manufacturers. Purposeful use of these capacities will provide a platform for more effective collaboration among specialized sectors, knowledge-based companies, and manufacturers, and can lead to improved quality and sustainability of domestic production.
