ITD - Qualified Products List

Products from the previous version of QPL were migrated to this new application 5/1/25 with the new requirement of yearly recertification. Some of the approved products are over 15 years old and have very outdated information. If your products on the list have the warning icon, they will be expiring soon. Products that expire will need to start the lengthy approval process from the beginning. Look through all of the products you own on the Approved Products list and recertify before they expire! Products that are recertified without updated information risk removal from the approved list.

You may not be linked to that supplier with your account. You'll need to go to Account Dashboard → Request To Join Supplier. When your request is approved, go to Supplier Products and select your active supplier. Do this for every supplier you're expecting to manage. For example: "John Doe Corp" and "John Doe LLC" will need to each be linked to individually. If the primary contact of the supplier is Default Contact, it has not been linked to a verified account.

In Supplier Products, edit your product and scroll down to check the BABA checkbox. Form 914 and Form 915 are linked and will need to be added as attachments if applicable. An admin will review the update. Customers will be looking for some kind of attachment with BABA checked when browsing the approved list for BABA products. Double check your product's attachment list to designate which files are BABA.

On your Supplier Products page, select the Edit action on an Approved Product. Go to Attachments and upload the BABA Certifiable document. Check the BABA Certifiable box and save changes. This change will require a review from a QPL Admin.

Step 1: Join the necessary suppliers.
Navigate to your Account Dashboard.
Click the "REQUEST TO JOIN SUPPLIER" button at the bottom of the page.
Search for and select the supplier you need to join and send the request.
Note: If the supplier was migrated from the legacy system and does not have a primary contact, an admin will need to approve your request. You will receive an email notification upon approval.

Step 2: Initiate the product transfer.
Go to the Products page under the Supplier section in the left-hand navigation.
Using the "Select Active Supplier" dropdown menu in the top-right corner, choose the supplier that currently owns the product you want to transfer.
Find the product in the list and click the OPTIONS button, then select "Request Transfer."
Choose the new supplier from the list and click "Make Transfer Request."

Step 3: Approve the transfer.
Navigate to the Product Transfer Requests page under the Supplier section.
Change the "Select Active Supplier" to the supplier that will be receiving the product.
You will see the pending transfer request. You can now approve it to complete the process.

Applications can be submitted by manufacturers, distributors, sales representatives, and contractors. If the application is submitted by a contractor, it must be submitted to the Resident Engineer responsible for the project on which the contractor wishes to use the product. Otherwise, the application should be submitted directly to the Program Administrator as shown on the application.

The length of time taken to complete a review varies depending on a number of factors. Since the Department does not have a separate product review staff, all personnel involved in the review process must balance these tasks with their other internal work load. Priority is given to applications which have been submitted by contractors holding current construction or maintenance contracts.

A number of criteria are used as a basis during evaluation of a product for use by the Department. These include:
• Product meets ITD Standard Specifications
• Product has been successfully used by ITD in the past
• Product has been successfully demonstrated under field conditions
• Product has been approved for use by other State DOT's
• Product meets FHWA requirements (e.g. NCHRP 350)
• Positive results have been demonstrated under AASHTO's National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP)

The Categories of Products included on the QPL are determined by the Product Review Committee. In general, they include products for which ITD has published Standard Specifications. Additional categories may be included if it is deemed beneficial to the Department.

In this application we attach phone numbers to contacts rather than the supplier itself, so when the primary contact changes the number will reflect that. To update the contact phone number, do so in the Manage Account page in the phone tab.
