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 processes; this 

includes BPEP staff manning a hotline 

during the week and on weekends for 

organizations to call or email. With the 

help of the Board of Examiners, BPEP 

will use the eligibility forms and 

application package to assess and 

provide feedback on the applicant’s 

performance excellence practices. These 

practices could lead to a MBNQA 

awarded by the President of the United 

States or his delegate. 

Per Public Law 100–107 (Malcolm 

Baldrige National Quality Improvement 

Act of 1987), the MBNQA helps to 

stimulate American companies to 

improve quality and productivity for the 

pride of recognition while obtaining a 

competitive edge through increased 

profits; recognizes the achievements of 

those companies that improve the 

quality of their goods and services and 

provide an example to others; 

establishes guidelines and criteria that 

can be used by business, industrial, 

governmental, and other organizations 

in evaluating their own quality 

improvement efforts; and provides 

specific guidance for other American 

organizations that wish to learn how to 

manage for high quality by making 

available detailed information on how 

winning organizations were able to 

change their cultures and achieve 

eminence. 

The application to be a member of the 

Board of Examiners is a one-step, 

secure, 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. Examiners 

receive three- to four-days of free on-site 

training (depending on experience 

level). 

BPEP’s mission to improve the 

competitiveness and performance of 

U.S. organizations for the benefit of all 

U.S. residents. 

II. Method of Collection 

MBNQA applicant organizations must 

comply in writing according to the 

Eligibility Certification Form and 

Baldrige Award Application Form

Information on the application for the 

Board of Examiners can be found at
