One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

(c) Please furnish the Contracting Officer with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm’s past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

(d) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically-generated email with detailed login instructions.

The CPARS User Manual, registration for online training for Contractor Representatives may be found at this site.

(e) You have 14 calendar days following the Assessing Official signature date to submit comments before the evaluation is made available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). You have a total of 60 calendar days following the Assessing Official signature date to submit comments. Any comments that you submit will be posted to PPIRS. If you do not sign and return the evaluation within 60 calendar days the evaluation will be returned to the Assessing Official, you will no longer be able to provide comments and the evaluation will be annotated as follows: 'The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this evaluation.' Partially completed comments that were not signed and returned to the Government within 60 calendar days will be removed from the evaluation.

(f) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

(1) Protect the evaluation as “source selection information.” After review, transit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the Contracting Officer for instructions.

(2) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

(3) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, preaward surveys, responsibility determination, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

(g) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the Contracting Officer no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.
