Every year, ACEC and NSPE partner to administer the National QBS Awards, recognizing public and private entities and/or individuals making exemplary use, or making extraordinary contributions to the advancement, of the Qualifications-Based Selection process at the federal, state and local levels. National QBS Award winners serve as examples of how well the QBS process works, and they help ACEC and NSPE promote the practice of QBS in jurisdictions that do not use, or underuse, QBS to procure engineering services.
ACEC and NSPE are now seeking nominations for the 2024 QBS Awards. The deadline for nominations is COB Monday, June 7, 2024.
