Federal Acquisition Registrations require that federal contractors register in SAM at www.sam.gov and enter all mandatory information into the system. Warning: FAR 4.1102(a) requires entity to be registered in SAM at the time a bid is submitted in order to comply with the annual representations and certifications requirements. If a bid is received and bidder is not registered as required, the bid will be considered non-responsive and therefore not eligible for award.

THE EXCLUDED PARTIES LIST SYSTEM (EPLS): To ensure that the individuals or businesses providing services under the contract have not engaged in fraud or abuse regarding Sections 1128 and 1128A of the Social Security Act regarding federal health care programs, the contractor is required to check the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) located at www.sam.gov for each person or business providing services under this contract. During the performance of this contract the Contractor is prohibited from using any individual or business listed on the List of Excluded Individuals/Entities.

Submit this report as soon as possible, if not already submitted, to avoid delays in the contract award process. For more information on this requirement and/or for completing the web-based reporting form, check the following website https://www.dol.gov/agencies/vets/programs/vets4212.

The level of background investigation is commensurate with the level of access needed to perform the statement of work. This requirement is also applicable to all subcontractor personnel requiring the same level of access.

Levels and associated types of Background Investigations:

All costs for SAC and NACI checks are borne by the contractor. The VA may at its discretion make deductions against the contract in order to recoup the investigation costs.

REVIEW REQUIRED REGISTRATION WITH CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (CPARS)

(a) As prescribed in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 42.1102, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) evaluates contractor past performance on all contracts that exceed $900,000 and shares those evaluations with other Federal Government contract specialists and procurement officials. The FAR requires that the contractor be provided an opportunity to comment on past performance evaluations prior to each report closing. To fulfill this requirement VA uses an online database, CPARS, which is maintained by the Naval Seal Logistics Center in Portsmouth, Virginia. CPARS has connectivity with the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) database, which is available to all Federal agencies. PPIRS is the system used to collect and retrieve performance assessment reports used in source selection determinations and completed CPARS report cards transferred to PPIRS. CPARS also includes access to the federal awardee performance and integrity information system (FAPIIS). FAPIIS is a web-enabled application accessed via CPARS for contractor responsibility determination information.

(b) Each contractor whose contract award is estimated to exceed $900,000 is required to register with CPARS database at the following web address: www.cpars.gov. Help in registering can be obtained by contacting Customer cpars-helpdesk@us.navy.mil.

Registration should occur no later than thirty days after contract award and must be kept current should there be any change to the contractor's registered representative.

mailto:cpars-helpdesk@us.navy.mil

(c) For contracts with a period of one year or less, the contracting officer will perform a single evaluation when the contract is complete. For contracts exceeding one year, the contracting officer will evaluate the contractor's performance annually.
