required to perform two steps: (1) The
applicant organization self-certifies that
it meets eligibility requirements with an
eligibility form; and (2) the applicant
organization prepares and completes an
application package. BPEP will assist
with or offer advice on any questions or
issues that the applicant may have
concerning the eligibility or application
process. With the help of the Board of

performance excellence practices. These
practices could lead to a MBNQA
awarded by the President of the United
States or his delegate.
The application to be a member of the
Board of Examiners is a one-step, online
process. Each year, BPEP recruits highly
skilled experts in the fields of
manufacturing, service, small business,
health care, education, and nonprofit,
the six Award eligibility categories, to
evaluate the applications that BPEP
receives. Examiners serve for a one-year
term; participation on the board is
entirely voluntary.

Certification Form and Baldrige Award
