1.5 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.201(Evaluation of Contractor Performance) requires evaluation of the construction contractor's performance throughout the contract period of performance. For construction contracts valued at or above $700,000.00, including all modifications, the USACE will evaluate Contractor's performance using the web-based Contractors Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

After the USACE drafts an evaluation (interim or final), the Contractor will have the opportunity to access, review, comment and either concur or non-concur with the evaluation in the CPARS system for a period of 60 days.

Access to the CPARS system requires either specific software called PKI certification (recommended method) or a username and password. The PKI certification is a Department of Defense recommendation and to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110 - $125 per certificate per year and may be purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about the PKI certification process and contacting vendors can be found on the web site: https://www.cpars.gov.

1.6 MANPOWER REPORTING

Contractors may direct technical questions to the "Send an Email" link at website or email contractormanpower@hqda.army.mil for current information on CMRA. Information regarding changes to the reporting process, when data should be entered, general policy information, how data is protected, and how to enter certain data can be found under the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section at the CMRA website. Reporting inputs will be for the labor executed during the period of performance during each Government fiscal year (FY), which runs October 1 through September 30. While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October 31 of each calendar year, beginning with 2013.
