About this file

This is a VA Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) template used by the Department of Veterans Affairs to collect contractor performance information for evaluation purposes in federal solicitations.

The form is divided into two main sections: contractor-submitted information and reference-completed evaluation sections. Contractors complete blocks 1-4, providing offeror details, general work information including work performed by the offering entity or predecessors, contract specifics (number, type, award date, final price), and project descriptions with explanations of relevancy to solicitation requirements. References complete the remainder of the questionnaire by submitting responses directly to David Hernandez at david.hernandez1@va.gov by the solicitation due date. The reference section requests point of contact information, contract details, role description, and signature confirmation that the project narrative accurately describes scope and complexity. References rate contractor performance across seven evaluation categories using a six-point rating scale (Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, Not Applicable): Quality, Schedule/Timeliness of Performance, Customer Satisfaction, Management/Personnel/Labor, Cost/Financial Management, Safety/Security, and General performance. Each category contains multiple sub-elements addressing workmanship, schedule compliance, end-user satisfaction, workforce management, cost control, financial viability, and emergency response capability. The form concludes with a summary section asking whether the reference would work with the contractor again and requesting detailed comments addressing strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and performance risk factors.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCES COMPLETING THIS QUESTIONNAIRE: VA requests that the reference completes this questionnaire and submits it directly back to David Hernandez at david.hernandez1@va.gov no later than Solicitation due date with a subject line that reads “Solicitation #, [Name of Offeror], Completed Past Performance Questionnaire”. The government reserves the right to verify all information on this form. To select: click box and fill shape in black.

Use the following adjective ratings and definitions in your evaluation of the Contractor’s performance.

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government benefit.

The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per VA policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
