I. INTRODUCTION

The existence of vendors in government or private organizations and agencies is needed. Apart from supplying a series of raw production goods, vendors also act as service and service providers. Various kinds of vendors offer many services and are competing as vendors who are competent in their fields. Besides that, sometimes vendors are not ready when from government or private agencies give a sudden work challenge and provide a very fast deadline for completion of work. Therefore, an assessment of a vendor is necessary as an evaluation of the performance of a vendor that has collaborated with government and private agencies. Assessment of vendors is carried out objectively and transparently without any friendship or kinship so as not to cause problems in the future (Dhillon, Syed, & de Sá-Soares, 2017; Liu & Yuliani, 2016).

In choosing a vendor, the company uses a work contract that follows the ongoing project work time. Besides that, choosing a vendor must be fast and precise, so that it affects the project’s working time. Another problem is the subjectivity of the material procurement staff, such as kinship and friendship with vendors, which is very influential and there is even an indication of using collusive methods for vendor selection (Chand, Bhatia, & Singh, 2018).
